University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad

The University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad was established on October 1, 1986. The University has 5 Colleges, 27 Research Stations, 6 Agriculture Extension Education Centers, 6 Krishi Vigyan Kendras and ATIC. The University has its jurisdiction over 7 districts namely Bagalkot, Belgaum, Bijapur, Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, and Uttar Kannada in northern Karnataka. Greater diversity exists in soil types, climate, topography cropping and farming situations. The jurisdiction includes dry-farming to heavy rainfall and irrigated area. Important crops of the region include sorghum, cotton, rice, pulses, chilli, sugarcane, groundnut, sunflower, wheat, safflower etc. The region is also known for many horticultural crops. Considerable progress has been registered in the field of education, research and extension from this University.

    VALIDATION OF LATE LEAF SPOT AND RUST RESISTANCE-LINKED MARKERS AND TRANSFER OF ASSOCIATED QTL TO JL 24 IN GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad, 2015-03) SHARANABASAPPA YERI; DR. RAMESH S. BHAT
    This study was aimed at validating the markers linked to resistance for late leaf spot (LLS) and rust diseases of groundnut using Heterogeneous Inbred Family (HIF)-derived Near-Isogenic Lines (NILs), and to develop backcross lines in JL 24 using marker assisted backcross breeding (MABC) to improve foliar disease resistance. The NILs from TAG 24 × GPBD 4 and TG 26 × GPBD 4 could validate IPAHM103, GM2301 and GM1536 markers linked to LLS and rust resistance QTL. Similarly single marker analysis among Recombinant Inbreed lines (RILs) of VL 1 × 110 showed significant association of GM1009, GM2009, IPAHM103 and AhMITE1-PCR with LLS resistance at 70 DAS, but not with rust resistance. In the MABC programme, JL 24 was crossed to LLS and rust resistant variety, GPDB 4 and two interspecific derivatives, ICGV 86699 and ICGV 99005. Backcrossing and selfing resulted in the development of BC1F4, BC2F3 and BC3F3. Evaluation of these backcross generations resulted in the identification of six lines (JG4_81, JG4_43, J8-4_10, J8-4_24, J9-4_19 and J9-4_20) in BC1F4 and four lines (J8-2-3_5, J8-2-3_41, JG2-3_14 and J8-2-3_5) in BC2F3. They were resistant to LLS and rust, and showed significantly superior productivity traits over JL 24. Ten homozygous lines were identified in BC3F2. They carried resistance allele at IPAHM103, GM2301 and pPGPseq8D09 marker loci linked to LLS and rust resistance. Background selection for JG-18 from JL 24 × GPBD 4 showed 87% genome similarity to JL 24 when analysed with 30 AhTE markers that were polymorphic between JL 24 and GPBD 4. All the ten homozygous lines were comparable to JL 24 for pod and kernel features. Further, line J9-08, J8-08 and J8-11 exhibited significant superiority for productivity traits over JL 24. These backcross lines make up a useful genetic resource for the development of LLS and rust resistant lines from JL 24.
