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.

    METAXENIC EFFECT OF POLLEN SOURCES ON FRUIT QUALITY AND YIELD IN DATE PALM (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2018) KHATRI AKASHKUMAR BHAGVANBHAI; Dr. G. B. PATIL
    Date palm being greatly heterozygous and heterogeneous in nature, breeding is very difficult due to dioecious, long juvenile phase and life cycle. Strategy for improvement of fruit yield and quality mainly includes efficient pollination technique, selection of suitable pollinator with metaxenic effect and improved cultural practices. The present investigation was carried out to find out effect of pollen sources on fruit quality and quantity in ADP-1 and Barhee used as female cultivar. The experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Block Design with three replications. The experimental material composed of male selected from different regions of Gujarat and female parent located at RRS, AAU, Anand and Narayan farm, Nani-Reldi, Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat. For determining pollination efficiency, in vitro pollen studies comprising of ultrastructure studies of pollen grains and in vitro germination assay were conducted along with stigma receptivity test using 6 % hydrogen peroxide.

    GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS IN INDIAN MUSTARD [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss]
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2018) M. Abhinaya; Dr. H. L. Dhaduk
    Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss) is an important oilseed cum spice crop. In spite of its unique place in human diet as well as country’s economy very little efforts have been made for the genetic enhancement of the crop. Therefore, the present investigation entitled “Generation mean analysis in Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss]” was carried out at Agronomy farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2017-18.

    GENETIC ANALYSIS OF SEED YIELD AND ITS CONTRIBUTING CHARACTERS IN SESAME (Sesamum indicum L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) KARISHMA P. KAPADIA; DR. SNEHA MACWANA
    The present investigation on “Genetic Analysis of Seed Yield and its Contributing Characters in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)”, which comprised of 28 hybrids developed by half-diallel mating design involving 8 parents, was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications at Agronomy farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif 2017. Heterosis, combining ability and components of genetic variance were studied for 12 characters viz; days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of primary branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, capsule length (cm), test weight (g), seed yield per plant (g), harvest index (%), oil content (%) and protein content (%).

    GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS THROUGH MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR MARKERS IN SENNA (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Darshanaben S. Prajapati; Dr. R. Nagaraja Reddy
    An experiment comprising of fifty diverse accessions of Senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.), a medicinal plant with laxative properties was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications during late kharif, 2017-18 at the ICAR-Directorate of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research (DMAPR), Anand to study the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, characters association, path coefficient analysis and genetic diversity. Each genotype was represented by accommodating twelve plants in single plot with inter and intra row spaced at 45×30 cm distance, respectively. Observations were recorded on four randomly selected plants for seventeen characters such as dry leaf yield (kg/ha), days to flowering (days), days to maturity (days), plant height (cm), number of branches, leaf area (cm2), number of raceme, raceme length (cm), pod per raceme, pod length (cm), pod width (cm), fresh leaf yield (kg/ha), harvest index, dry pod yield (kg/ha), test weight (g), seed yield (kg/ha) and shelling per cent. In-house transcriptome sequences of senna were used to develop gene-based (Intron Length Polymorphism (ILP) and EST-SSRs) markers for deciphering genetic diversity. Markers were amplified in 48 germplasm accessions using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the products were analyzed through electrophoresis.

    LINE × TESTER ANALYSIS FOR SEED YIELD AND QUALITY IN SESAME (Sesamum indicum L.)
    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2018) Deep Kumar; Dr. H. L. Dhaduk
    The present investigation was undertaken in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in order to estimate heterosis, combining ability and genetic variability through molecular markers using line × tester mating design. The resulting 35 hybrids along with 12 parents and checks were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications at Genetics and Plant Breeding Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during summer 2018. The main objective of the experiment was to study the magnitude of heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis, gene effects and combining ability effects of parents and F1’s for seed yield and its component characters including quality traits.
