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.

    Phenotyping and molecular marker analysis of selected F3 segregating lines from aerobic x low land indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) crosses
    (CCSHAU, 2015) Kanika Rani; Jain, R.K.
    Experiments were conducted to evaluate F3 segregating populations derived from the five crosses (PAU201 x MAS25, MASARB25 x PAU201, PAU201 x MAS26, MASARB25 x HKR47 and MAS25 x HKR47) for various physio-morphological and/or root traits and microsatellite markers linked to the traits promoting aerobic adaptation. MASARB25, MAS25 and MAS26 are aerobic while PAU201 and HKR47 are low-land indica rice varieties. In all the five populations, wide variation was observed for plant height, panicle length, number of panicles per plant, number of effective tillers per plant, root length, root thickness, fresh and dry root weight, 1000 grain weight, grain length-breadth ratio and grain yield per plant. In these populations, significant positive correlation was observed between yield per plant with plant height, effective no. of tillers per plant, length-breadth ratio, 1000 grain weight, root biomass and/or root length. The NTSYS-pc UPGMA tree cluster analysis and 2-D PCA scaling of selected F3 plants derived from the five crosses clearly showed large variation among two parental genotypes and F3 plants were invariably interspersed between them. A number of promising F3 plants have been selected, which had higher grain yield, root length and biomass greater than MAS25, MAS26 and MASARB25 for further progeny analysis. Most of these selected plants had the desired allele for the markers reported earlier to be linked with the aerobic adaptation traits (RM234 and RM547 for root length on chromosome 7 and 8 respectively; RM525 for root thickness and root biomass on chromosome 2).

    Micronutrient and SSR marker analysis of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucam (L.) R. Br.] inbred lines
    (CCSHAU, 2015) Sangwan, Sonali; Shikha Yashveer
    A set of thirty-six pearl millet inbred lines was used to study genetic variability and correlation analysis for seven morphological characters namely days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), ear length (cm), ear diameter (cm), 1000 grain weight (g), grain yield per plant (g) and dry fodder yield per plant (g) along with micronutrient (Fe and Zn) status. The pearl millet inbred lines were evaluated in randomized block design with two replications in two environments during 2014. Analysis of variance for all the characters under study showed significant differences indicating the presence of genetic variability among the inbreds. The estimates of variability parameter for grain yield, contributing traits and Fe and Zn content revealed the high PCV value as compared to GCV value that suggests the role of environment in the expression of all these characters. An additive gene action was indicated for dry fodder yield per plant, grain yield per plant, Fe and Zn content by high to moderate heritability and genetic advance as per cent of mean values. Correlation analysis showed highly significant correlation between grain Fe and Zn content which signifies simultaneous improvement in the two traits. Grain yield per plant showed no significant negative correlation with Fe and Zn that suggests improvement in nutrient value without sacrificing yield. A set of 30 SSR primers was also used for molecular diversity assessment in 36 pearl millet inbred lines. Mean allele per locus and PIC obtained was 10.5 and 0.796, respectively. Cluster analysis distributed these genotypes into 9 clusters where 4 genotypes failed to fall in any of these clusters.
