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.

    GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS FOR FRUIT YIELD AND ITS COMPONENT TRAITS IN TOMATO [Solanum lycopersicum (L.)]
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Damor Hiteksha I.; Dr. R. R. Acharya
    The present study was conducted at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during 2018-19. The experimental material consisted different five families of tomato. Each family comprised of six generations as P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2 evaluated with three replications in compact family block design to assess gene action in detailed account for yield and its component traits, magnitude of heterosis, inbreeding depression in F2 generation, heritability (broad-sense and narrow-sense), expected genetic advance as well as evaluation of diversity present in parental generation with the help of molecular markers. All five crosses were evaluated for days to first flowering, plant height (cm), primary branches per plant, fruits per plant, fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit girth (cm), locules per fruit, pericarp thickness (mm), fruit yield per plant (kg), seeds per fruit, 1000 seed weight (g), total soluble solids (°Brix), lycopene content (mg) and titrable acidity (%). To test the adequacy of additive-dominance model, simple scaling tests given by Hayman and Mather, 1955 was employed. The joint scaling test was also applied to test adequacy of three and six parameter model. Wherever, the simple additive-dominance model failed to explain the variation in generation means, 6 parameter model suggested by Hayman (1958) was used to estimate principle gene effects and interaction effects.
