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.

ThesisItem Open Access IN VITRO MUTAGENESIS RESISTANCE TO ALTERNARIA BLIGHT IN CUMIN (CUMINUM CYMINUM L.)(CENTRE FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH IN PLANT TISSUE CULTURE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Vishalakshi T. P.; Dr. G. B. PatilThe present study entitled “In vitro mutagenesis resistance to Alternaria blight in cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.)’’ was conducted at Centre for Advanced Research in Plant Tissue Culture. AAU, Anand, Gujarat, during 2019-20. The seeds of three cumin genotypes Gujarat cumin-2 (GC-2), Gujarat cumin-4 (GC-4) and Sanand cumin-1 (SC-1) were selected for the study. The experiments were conducted for genotype specific responses for callusing and regeneration. The second experiment was conducted to standardize the in vitro mutagenesis and to isolate putative mutants. The third experiment was conducted to isolate the resistant cell lines through in vitro selection against Alternaria blight. These mutants were identified based on morphological parameters and they were subjected to molecular analysis using RAPD marker (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) for the detection of polymorphism among the mutant callus thus identifying the true mutants. This resistant callus was subjected to subculturing for in vitro regeneration of resistant shoots.ThesisItem Open Access HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY STUDIES IN CHILLI (Capsicum annuum L.) USING LINE × TESTER ANALYSIS(Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B. A. College of Agriculture Anand Agricultural University Anand –, 2020) Ujjaval Navinbhai Patel; Dr. D. A. PatelThe present investigation entitled “Heterosis and combining ability studies in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) using Line × Tester analysis” was undertaken to generate information on magnitude of heterosis of hybrids over their better parent and standard check, gene effects of various characters, general combining ability effects of parents and specific combining ability effects of all hybrids for green fruit yield and its component characters including its quality trait. The experimental material comprising of six females including one cytoplasmic male sterile line were crossed with eight male parents of chilli in Line × Tester mating design. The resulting 48 hybrids were grown along with 14 parents and 1 standard check hybrid GAVCH – 1 in randomized complete block design (RBD) with three replications at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during kharif-rabi 2019-20. The observations were recorded for fifteen characters including green fruit yield per plant, its contributing characters and quality traits.ThesisItem Open Access ANALYSIS OF GENETIC VARIATION IN MUSKMELON (Cucumis melo L.)(DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B.

AcharyaThe present study entitled “Analysis of genetic variation in muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.)” was undertaken to obtain information on important genetic parameters in a set of one hundred and twenty-four genotypes. The study was carried out with the objectives of estimation of variability with respect to yield and its component traits, genotypic and phenotypic correlations, direct and indirect effects of yield attributing characters through path coefficients analysis and genetic diversity through Mahalanobis D2 technique among all the genotypes grown in Randomized Complete Block Design (RBD) with two replications during the summer 2019 at Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand.ThesisItem Open Access GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS IN SESAME (Sesamum indicum L.)(DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Kommoju Aishwarya; Dr. Sneha MacwanaThe present investigation entitled “Generation Mean Analysis in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)” was carried out at the Agronomy farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand during summer season of 2019-20. The study was undertaken with the objective to estimate gene effect, heterosis, inbreeding depression, heritability and expected genetic advance for seed yield and its characters in sesame. The experimental material, consists of six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2) raised from four crosses viz., cross I (RAMA × GT-4), cross II (RAMA × GT-10), cross III (TMV- 4 × GT-5) and cross IV (TILLOTAMA × GT-3) were grown in compact family block design with three replications. The observations on twelve characters were recorded for each cross i.e. five plants in P1, P2 and F1, ten plants in B1 and B2 and twenty plants in F2 generation.ThesisItem Open Access GENERATION MEAN ANALYSIS FOR FRUIT YIELD AND ITS COMPONENT TRAITS IN BRINJAL [Solanum melongena L.](DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Kalpanaben V. Rathava; Dr. R. R. AcharyaThe present investigation entitled “Generation mean analysis for fruit yield and its component traits in brinjal [Solanum Melongena L.]’’ was undertaken with a view to study the nature and magnitude of gene action, relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis, inbreeding depression, heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean. Experiment was carried out at the Main Vegetable Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during Kharif-rabi 2017-18. Six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 and B2) of four crosses viz., ABSR 2 × NSP 1 (cross 1), KS 224 × CHBR 1 (cross 2), JBGR 1 × GP BRJ 204 (cross 3) and DOLI 5 × PN 1 (cross 4) comprising of six parental lines, were raised in a compact family block design with three replications.ThesisItem Open Access 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. AcharyaThe 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.ThesisItem Open Access STUDY OF VARIABILITY, HERITABILITY AND TRAIT ASSOCIATION FOR YIELD AND QUALITY TRAITS IN KALMEGH [ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA (Burm.F.)
