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.

    IDENTIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF MOLECULAR MARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH APHID [Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.)] RESISTANCE IN Brassicas
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Wawge Mohan Nivrutti; Dr. N. Sasidharan
    Rapeseed mustard is the third important oilseed crop in the world after soybean (Glycine max) and palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) and globally, India account for 19.29% and 11.12% of the total acreage and production respectively. The mustard crop suffers from various biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the different pests and diseases affecting this crop, mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi Kalt is the major limiting factor for qualitative as well as quantitative production of mustard, which infests the crops right from vegetative stage to pod stage and accounts for 27% to 69% of yield loss with 15% reduction in its oil content. In this context, breeding for aphid resistance and identification of molecular markers for this trait could be a valuable approach for development of resistant genotype.

    CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION OF CROPGRO-peanut (DSSAT v.4.6) MODEL FOR SUMMER GROUNDNUT AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN MIDDLE GUJARAT
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL METEOROLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Mote Balaji Mohan; Dr. Vyas Pandey
    Field experiments were carried out during the summer season of the year 2015 and 2016 was laid out in a split plot design with three date of sowing i.e., (D1- 31st January, D2-15th February, D3- 02nd March) as main plot treatments and four cultivars viz., (V1-GG 2, V2-GG 20, V3-GJG 31 and V4-TG 26) as sub-plot treatment with four replications. The results obtained during the course of study revealed that the weather had played a significant role in deciding the yield of groundnut. The result showed that During 2015 the maximum pod yield (2093 kg ha-1) was recorded under second date of sowing (15th February) and it was statistically at par with first date of sowing (31st January) (1927 kg ha-1) and the lowest pod yield (1724 kg ha-1) was recorded under third date of sowing (02nd March). Similar trends were observed during 2016 also, with slightly higher value of pod yield in comparison to 2015. Similarly in pooled analysis, also the highest pod yield (2107 kg ha-1) was recorded under second date of sowing which was significantly higher than the pod yield recorded under first date of sowing (1939 kg ha-1) and third date of sowing (1767 kg ha-1). During both years and in pooled data highest pod yield was recorded under second date of sowing, It might be due to the late sown crop encountered higher temperature during reproductive period, resulting in shortening the duration and accumulation of higher heat units, resulting lowest pod yield.

    DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION AND PROTEOMICS STUDY DURING ROOT KNOT NEMATODE (Meloidogyne incognita) INFECTION IN TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2017) Vyomesh Shailesh Patel; Dr. Y. M. Shukla
    Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L., 2n=2x=24) is an important vegetable for human consumption because of its enriched nutritional composition that provide the basic body nutritional requirements. In recent years, it has attracted the attention due to the anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant property of lycopene and ascorbic acid. Tomato (S. lycopersicum L.) is affected by various diseases caused mainly by fungi, bacteria and nematodes. Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) found to be very fatal infective agents and cause severe yield loses. The present investigation was undertaken to enhance understanding regarding the molecular and biochemical changes that takes place in the tomato seedlings under root knot biotic stress. Better understanding about the exact mechanism of plant response towards such biotic stress can help to improve screening strategies for the selection of resistant cultivars. Two tomato cultivars AT 3 (Susceptible) and SL 120 (Resistant) grown under sterile and root knot nematode (3000 J2 stage larvae per plant) inoculated soil were used for differential gene expression and proteomics study during root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) infection in tomato (S. lycopersicum L.).
