Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar

Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

    Use of molecular markers for varietal identification and assessing phylogenetic status of Basmati rice in genus Oryza sativa L.
    (CCSHAU, 2011) Jyoti; Jain, Sunita
    Molecular markers provide novel tools for varietal identification, diversity analysis and assessing phylogenetic relationships among various rice groups in genus Oryza. A set of 50 rice genotypes comprising of seven japonica rice varieties, six traditional Basmati, thirteen cross-bred Basmati and 24 indica rice varieties was investigated using 54 markers (28 on chromosome 8 and 26 on rest of the chromosomes); data obtained has been used to assess the phylogenetic status of Basmati rice in genus Oryza sativa L. A total of 217 alleles were detected, with an average of 4.01 alleles per locus. Number of alleles per locus (3.5 alleles) for markers on chromosome 8 was less than the mean value (4.58 alleles) based on 26 SSR markers on rest of eleven chromosomes of rice. Eleven of these alleles were unique, present in only one genotype. Null allele was observed at only one locus (RM408) in Super Basmati. The number and size of alleles and Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values ranged between 2-7, 83-381 bp and 0.074-0.810, respectively. An average PIC of 0.55 per locus was obtained, which confirms that markers used in this study were highly informative. Genetic relationships generated using the whole genome marker data as well as allelic profile on chromosome 8 and rest of eleven chromosomes separately placed 50 rice genotypes in three distinct clusters. Seventeen of the nineteen Basmati rice varieties (except two cross-bred Basmati rice varieties, Sabarmati and Improved Sabarmati) formed a separate cluster quite distinct from the indica and japonica rice clusters. Interestingly, mean similarity indices obtained from chromosome 8 dataset placed Basmati rice cluster at equal distance from japonica and indica rice types. However, whole genome as well as rest of the genome marker datasets placed Basmati group closer to indica rice varieties than japonica. Chromosome 8 dataset showed a positive correlation (Mantel test, r = 0.631) with the rest of the genome dataset, indicating a higher level of similarity between the two. All the traditional and crossbred Basmati rice varieties and two aromatic japonica varieties shared the same BAD2 alleles at the aroma locus, indicated the distinctness of the aroma locus. While the present study gives support to the hypothesis that japonica genotypes may have contributed towards the evolution of chromosome 8 or a part of chromosome 8 in Basmati rice, it also indicate the active flow of genes from indica rices during the course of parallel evolution in northern Indian sub-continent. The study also demonstrates the distinctness of TB from other rice types (indica and japonica) and also provides a number of novel SSR markers which can be used to differentiate within/among the various rice groups at commercial level. It was observed that the amplified products differing in ≥12bp can be separated on 3% agarose gels for varietal identification in Basmati rice, which is faster, much cheaper and relatively simple method compared to the advanced molecular methods already available for the purpose.
