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.

    DIALLEL ANALYSIS IN INTERSPECIFIC LINES OF MUSTARD (Brassica spp.) AND IDENTIFICATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS LINKED TO APHID RESISTANCE
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Rukhsar; Dr. Akarsh Parihar
    The present investigation entitled “Diallel analysis in interspecific lines of mustard (Brassica spp.) and identification of molecular markers linked to aphid resistance” was undertaken to generate information on the magnitude of heterosis, gene action and combining ability effects of parents and F1s for quantitative and qualitative traits in order to suggest a sound breeding methodology for development of high yielding genotypes/ hybrids. The other purpose of this study was to identify aphid resistance linked markers. PCR-based molecular approaches like SSR, CAPS and RAPD markers were used to attain the objective. The research work was carried out at farm of “Research Centre for Distant Hybridization in Field and Fruit Crops” and Biotechnology laboratory, Centre of Excellence in Biotechnology, Dept. of Agricultural Biotechnology, A.A.U., Anand. The crosses were made between interspecific lines taken as parents in rabi 2016-17 whereas the evaluation of parents and hybrids was done in consecutive rabi 2017-18. The screening of 200 F8 RILs for aphid resistance was conducted in rabi 2018-19.

    PHENOTYPING OF MAIZE (Zea mays L.) INBRED LINES FOR DUS PARAMETERS AND THEIR GENOTYPING USING BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR MARKERS
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Manisha Satyawan Mote; Dr. R. S. Fougat
    Present research was carried out to access the variability in 96 maize inbreds lines collected from Main Maize Research Station, Godhra for morphological traits according to DUS parameters and also with biochemical and molecular markers. All the inbred lines were selfed consecutively for two generation to get the pure seed for main trials, which were conducted at research farm of AAU, Anand in Rabi-2016 and Kharif -2017 season. The inbreds were characterized for 31 morphological characters based on plant, leaf, tassel, cob and kernel traits according to DUS parameters of PPV & FRA. The assessment of variability using cluster analysis was grouped all the inbreds in 6 and 7 clusters in Rabi-2016 and Kharif-2017, respectively which included nearly similar set of inbreds in these cluster based on different qualitative traits.

    GENETIC ARCHITECTURE STUDIES FOR HEAT AND MOISTURE STRESS TOLERANCE IN MAIZE (Zea mays L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) KUCHHADIYA G. V.; Dr. S. M. KHANORKAR
    The present investigation entitled “Genetic architecture studies for heat and moisture stress tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.)” carried out. Exploitation of heterosis and assessment of combining ability by using half diallel analysis over the three environments was done at the Main Maize Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Godhra during 2016-17. The experimental material comprised of ten inbred lines, 45 hybrids and two standard check hybrids viz., GAYMH 1 and HQPM 1 were used to evaluate and followed Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications under three environments (E1, E2 and E3). The observations were recorded for 20 characters viz., initial plant stand, days tasselling, tassel blasting, days silking, Anthesis Silking Interval (ASI), leaf rolling, leaf senescence, plant height, ear height, days to brown husk, final plant stand, ear length, ear girth, kernel rows per ear, kernels per row, shelling percentage, 100 kernel weight, kernel yield per plant, kernel moisture and proline content.

    GENETIC VARIATION IN CLUSTER BEAN [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] THROUGH INDUCED MUTATIONS
    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) Rupal Dhoot; Dr. H. L. Dhaduk
    Cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub] (2n = 2x = 14) is an important leguminous vegetable. It belongs to order fabales and family Fabaceae. It is commonly known as Guar. Although cluster bean is a minor crop but due to its better and finer guar gum qualities it is considered as an important cash crop for industrial gum production. Its tender pods are valuable source of protein and are used for vegetable purpose, its plants are used for feed and fodder purpose. The experiment was conducted to create genetic variation in cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] through induced mutations.

    GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS FOR SEED YIELD AND ITS COMPONENT CHARACTERS IN CASTOR (Ricinus communis L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANTBREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2018) Patel Dixitaben Kamleshkumar; Dr. D. A. Patel
    The present study was carried out to estimate gene effect, heterosis, inbreeding depression, heritability and expected genetic advance for seed yield and its component characters in castor (Ricinus communis L.). The experiment was conducted at Agronomy farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif 2016-17. The experimental material, comprising of six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2) raised from five crosses viz., cross I (SKI 324 x PCS 124), cross II (ANDCI 10-7 x JH 109), cross III (ANDCI 8 x SKI 324) , cross IV (JI 358 x SH 42) and cross V (ANDCI 10-7 x SKI 324) were grown in a compact family block design with three replications. The observations on thirteen characters were recorded for each cross i.e. from five plants in P1, P2 and F1, ten plants in B1 and B2 and twenty plants in F2 generation.
