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.

    GENETIC VARIABILITY ANALYSIS IN RICE (Oryza sativa L.) GENOTYPES UNDER AEROBIC CONDITION AND THEIR MOLECULAR ANALYSIS
    (Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) Nikki Kumari; Dr. Maheshbhai Parmar
    Among the cereals, rice is the most important crop with high acceptability and wider use. Globally, drought represents a major constraint on rice production. The present investigation was carried out with 50 genotypes of rice in randomized complete block design with three replications at, Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during Kharif 2018. The objectives of the present investigation were to estimate the extent of variability present in rice genotypes with respect to yield and its component traits, genotypic and phenotypic correlations among different traits, direct and indirect effects of different characters contributing towards grain yield by path coefficient analysis and molecular diversity using drought specific SSR markers.

    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.

    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) PATEL PARTHIK UMESHBHAI; Dr. B. C. Patel
    The present investigation entitled “Heterosis and combining ability in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was carried out at Regional Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat during rabi 2018-19. The experimental material consisted of 67 genotypes, comprised of five lines, ten testers, their 50 hybrids and two standard check varieties. The experimental material was evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The observations were recorded on twelve different characters viz. days to 50 % heading, days to maturity, plant height, number of effective tillers per plant, length of main spike, number of spikelets per main spike, 100-grain weight, grain yield per plant, biological yield per plant, harvest index, protein content and hectolitre weight. The recorded data were subjected to analysis to assess per se performance, heterotic effects (heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis), combining ability of parents and their hybrids and gene effects.

    (Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2019) Mayur Kumar Sonagara; Dr. J. N. Patel
    The present investigation was undertaken on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in order to estimate combining ability, heterosis and genetic variability through molecular markers using diallel mating design. The resulting 45 hybrids along with 10 parents and one check were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications at Main Vegetables Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif-rabi 2019. The main objective of the experiment was to study the per se performance, combining ability effects, magnitude of heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis and gene effects of parents and F1’s for fruit yield and its component characters including quality traits.

    (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.

    (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 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.
