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.

    CHARACTERIZATION OF URDBEAN LEAF CRINKLE VIRUS OF URDBEAN (Vigna mungo L .)
    (AAU, Anand, 1995) Patel, Arvindbhai B.; Mishra, Ashok
    Urdbean leaf crinkle disease with typical crinkling symptoms on urdbean (Vigna mungo L.) was observed in field and the incidence ranged between 1.0 to 8.33 percent in cv.T-9 and TPU-4 of urdbean from different location. In diseased leaf the area and number of stomata was increased, size of stomata and number of leaf hairs did not differ much. The yield loss was observed 22.5 percent. The virus infected urdbean (Vigna mungo L.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.), clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L) Taub.), groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L. ) and cucumber (Cucumis melo L.). The virus was readily transmitted through mechanical Inoculation, by Aphids (Aphis gossypi i Coch.), whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.) and seed (10 to 30%). The presence of virus was observed in cotyledons and embryo. The virus was inactivated at 63° to 65°C temperature and had a DEP of 10 —4 to 10 -5. It remained infective in crude sap upto 108 hre. at room temperature and 156 hrs at 5°C temperature. In the SDSPAGE the molecular weight of virus coat protein was approx. 28 kDa and Inclusion protein was 50 kDa. In serological test ULCV reacted positively with the antisera of SqMV and CGMMV in ELISA whereas in Western blot, positive reaction was observed with the antisera of SqMV only. There was no reaction with antisera of other viruses in ELISA and Western blot. In sap inoculation, germplasm lines GU-90-47, GU-90-60, GU-90-69, GU-90-71, GU-90-72 were moderately resistant, GU- 90-54, GU-90-66, GU-90-61 were resistant and GU-90-44 was immune (highly resistant).
