Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    IDENTIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH APHID [Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.)] RESISTANCE IN Brassicas
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Wawge Mohan Nivrutti; Dr. N. Sasidharan
    Rapeseed mustard is the third important oilseed crop in the world after soybean (Glycine max) and palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) and globally, India account for 19.29% and 11.12% of the total acreage and production respectively. The mustard crop suffers from various biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the different pests and diseases affecting this crop, mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi Kalt is the major limiting factor for qualitative as well as quantitative production of mustard, which infests the crops right from vegetative stage to pod stage and accounts for 27% to 69% of yield loss with 15% reduction in its oil content. In this context, breeding for aphid resistance and identification of molecular markers for this trait could be a valuable approach for development of resistant genotype.

    IDENTIFICATION OF HOUSEKEEPING GENES FOR REAL TIME PCR ANALYSIS IN DILL SEED (Anethum sowa Roxb. ex Fleming)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND – 388 110, 2017) Patel Swatiben Hemantbhai; Dr. H. L. Dhaduk
    Dill seed (Anethum sowa Roxb. ex Fleming) is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae with chromosome number 2n = 2x = 20. Apiaceae families have unique features such as they contain essential oils and umbels like inflorescences. Dill grows well in a light to medium-textured soil. The ideal pH of the soil is from 5.0 to 8.2. The present work was carried out with an aim to identify housekeeping genes in dill seed for RT-PCR and analyzed it through geNorm for best stable reference gene. The dill genotype selected for the study was Gujarat dill seed-3.

    IDENTIFICATION OF GENES ASSOCIATED WITH DIRECT AND INDIRECT ORGANOGENESIS EVENTS DURING MICROPROPAGATION OF SANDALWOOD (Santalum album L.) BY qPCR
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) GAREEMA; Dr. G. B. Patil
    Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) is the nature’s gift in the world that requires stringent method for the plant production to avoid scarcity in future. In a bid to conserve the remaining germplasm, blend of plant tissue culture and biotechnology provides a feasible, effective means of propagating members of this genus. The detailed understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the success or failure of traditional propagation can be explored by application of expression study. Considering the importance of in vitro organogenesis, the present study was carried out at Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, AAU, Anand to standardize the protocol of sandalwood for direct organogenesis and indirect organogenesis coupled with qRT-PCR technique for identification of the genes expressed during direct organogenesis and indirect organogenesis events, validation and absolute gene expression profiling of these genes in organogenesis events.

    GENDER IDENTIFICATION USING LOOP MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION (LAMP) IN PAPAYA (Carica papaya L.) var. Madhubindu
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Rathod Divyarajsinh V.; Dr. Subhash N.
    Experiments were conducted to screen and validate suitable male specific markers in the identification of sex in papaya (cv. Madhubindu). From the reported markers W11, T12, Napf and CPSM 90 showed detectable results in sex determination and was used for further experimentation with routinely used PCR method as well as loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Using screened markers unknown samples were identified with 100% efficiency of the marker used in predicting the sex type.

    CHARACTERIZATION AND EXPRESSION STUDIES FOR IRON TRANSPORTER AND STORAGE GENES IN KODO MILLET (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Prajapati Vijaykumar I.; Dr. J. G. Talati
    Kodo millet is a balanced and staple food of tribal and economically poor section of the population. The grains of kodo millet possess excellent storage properties and are known for health benefits. It is highly nutritious food crop with higher fiber content along with quality protein and mineral composition, which can serve as excellent dietary source for these elements. Poor nutritional quality of cereals is the primary cause of disorders related to nutritional imbalance among the population having cereal-based diet, especially those belonging to underdeveloped or developing counties.

    “EFFECT OF LIMITED IRRIGATION ON QUALITY OF DURUM WHEAT (Triticum durum Desf.)”
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2016) Arpita Jayeshbhai Dalwadi; Dr. J. G. Talati
    Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is the only tetraploid species of wheat which is cultivated worldwide. Durum wheat contains high protein, as well as its strength and structures and interactions of the grain storage proteins gliadin and glutenin make durum good for special uses, the most well-known being pasta, spaghetti and macaroni, extensively in bread making.

    Transcriptome based identification of genes imparting bacterial leaf blight (Xanthomonas oryzae) resistance in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Desai Amruta S.; Dr. Subhash N.
    Rice is one of the most important staple foods for a larger part of the world’s population. It is a rich source of carbohydrates, energy, thiamine, pantothenic acid and folic acid. Because world-wide rice production has been severely affected by one of the major disease referred to as bacterial leaf blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), early efforts has been focusing on cloning and utilizing of disease resistance (R) genes in rice for resistance breeding.

    Molecular and Biochemical characterization of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes for salinity stress
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2009) PATEL VINITKUMAR S.; Dr. Subhash N.
    Abiotic stresses like salinity is a major problem in today's agriculture. Salt affected soils can be managed by reclamation. But due to less availability of good quality of water, low soil permeability and high cost of amendments, this approach is not feasible on a large scale. Saline agriculture technology is an alternative approach for effective utilization of salt affected soils, which involves the cultivation of salt tolerant species/crop cultivars. Defining salt tolerance, however, is quite difficult because of the complex nature of salt stress and the wide range of plant responses. Hence, the traits associated with salt tolerance needs to be studied. Study for the response of plants/crops to salinity under naturally saline condition is not feasible due to extreme variability in soil salinity. To avoid this problem, comparative differences for
