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.

A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Patel Disha H.; Dr.Arna DasThe present experiment was undertaken in a set of 15 diverse genotypes of Brassica spp. and its wild relatives to procure information on variation in floral morphology, agro-morphological traits, reproductive biology, inter-relationship of the observed characters and also to assess genetic diversity through D2 analysis, as well as through molecular markers (SRAP). Ploidy level of all the genotypes was also determined through Flow cytometry. The genotypes under study were, viz., Brassica fruticulosa (Spain), Brassica fruticulosa (Japan), Brassica fruticulosa (India), Diplotaxis assurgens, Diplotaxis cretacia and Diplotaxis viminea, Pusa swarnim (Brassica carinata), Kiran (Brassica carinata), NPC 9 (Brassica carinata), GM 1 (Brassica juncea), GM 2 (Brassica juncea),GM 3 (Brassica juncea) and GDM 4 (Brassica juncea), Brassica tournifortii and Sangam (Brassica nigra).ThesisItem Open Access GENETIC VARIABILITY, CORRELATION AND PATH ANALYSIS FOR YIELD AND YIELD ATTRIBUTING CHARACTERS IN ALOE (Aloe barbadensis Mill.)(DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Narigapalli Pavani; K. A. GeethaA field experiment entitled “Genetic variability, correlation and path analysis for yield and yield attributing characters in aloe (Aloe barbadensis Mill.)” was carried out at ICAR – DMAPR, Boriavi during 2019-21 using 26 genotypes of aloe in a randomized complete block design. The objectives of the study were to estimate the genetic variability, broad sense heritability, inter-character association and the direct and indirect effects of yield and quality attributing characters through path coefficient analysis. The result revealed that IC 310618, IC 310623, GUJ 1, NMRM 2 and IC 285629 were superior lines for gel and aloin yields. Aloin content (%) was recorded highest in IC 310623 (27.07%). Based on variability studies, parameters viz., plant height, leaf weight, leaf thickness, exudates yield per plant, leaves per plant and leaf breadth could be selected for increasing yield as they have high heritability coupled with genetic advance.ThesisItem Open Access GENETIC DIVERSITY STUDIES IN CULTIVATED TETRAPLOID COTTON(Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding B.
