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.

    Development of efficient plant regeneration system in Kinnow mandarin(Citrus nobilis Lour × Citrus deliciosa Tenora) for genetic transformation
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Sataveer; Chauhan, V. S.
    The present study was carried out to develop an efficient plant regeneration system in Kinnow mandarin (Citrus nobilis Lour X Citrus deliciosa Tenora) for genetic transformation. Direct regeneration of shoots and roots without intervention of callus from epicotyl segments collected from in vitro raised seedling and shoot tips collected from in vivo raised plants was observed on MS basal medium supplemented with different cytokinins and auxins. The MS+BAP 1.Omg/l was recorded to be the best treatment for shoot proliferation in in vitro epicotyl explants and in vivo shoot tip explants. The MS + BAP 1.0 mg/1 was observed to be the best treatment for shoot proliferation in in vitro epicotyl explants and shoot tip explants in case of parameters like percent regeneration, number of shoots per explant, shoot length followed by MS+Kin l.0 mg/l. The number of shoots per explant ranged, from 1.20 to 4.20 in epicotyl and 1.0 to 4.20 in shoot tips. The maximum length of shoot was recorded 3.20 cm in case of In vitro epicotyl segments and 2.60 cm in shoot tips on the MS+BAP 1mg/l. In case of rooting medium ½ MS+IBA 1.Omg/l was found to be best for different aspects of root differentiation like number of days required for root initiation (13), per cent rooting (94%) number of roots/planted (4.20), root length (4. 1 cm).

    Regeneration and agrobacterium mediated transformation in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) cv. Mosambi
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Mattu, Harpreet Singh; Joon, M. S.
    The present study was carried out to develop an efficient regeneration protocol for genetic transformation of sweet orange using Agrobacterium mediated transformation. Direct regeneration of shoots, roots and plant without intervention of callus from epicotyl segments was observed on MS basal medium supplemented with various cytokinins and auxins. The MS+BAP 1.0mg/l was observed to be the best treatment for shoot proliferation in in vitro epicotyl explants. The MS+BAP 1.0mg/l was found to be the most effective one for morphogenic growth parameters like number of shoots and shoot length. The number of shoots per explant ranged from 0.87 to 3.03. The maximum length of shoot was 2.80 cm on the MS+BAP 1mg/l from in xii vitro epicotyl segments. Medium ½ MS+IBA 1.0mg/l was found to be best for different aspects of root differentiation like number of days required for root initiation (13.80), completion of rooting (25.60), per cent rooting (100%) number of roots/planted (3.80), root length (3.88cm) and percent survival of rooted plantlets (100%). In transformation experiment, highest percent transient GUS expression was observed on incubation of Agrobacterium for 15 minutes and co-cultivated for 3 days on regeneration medium.

    Studies on value added products of karonda (Carissa carandas Linn.)
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Duhan, Ravinder; Godara, R. K.
    The investigation was carried out at CCS Haryana Agricultural University during the year 2007-08 with the objective to standardize the karonda for osmo-air dried, chutney, RTS, and squash and its storage. 112 The products were assessed for nutritional and organoleptically properties at monthly intervals for 90 days. Studies on keeping quality of osmo-air dried, chutney, RTS and squash from karonda indicated significant increase in total sugar, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar whereas non-reducing sugar of RTS and squash show no significant difference during storage. A significant decrease in acidity, ascorbic acid and crude protein was noticed in all karonda products during 3 months of storage, whereas browning increased significantly. Moisture content of osmo-air dried karonda decreased as storage period advanced. Iron and calcium did not alter any significant difference during storage. Tannin content of karonda products decreased with the increased in storage period. Mean scores for organoleptic characteristics of osmo-air dried karonda, blanched and dipped in 70° Brix solution improved with an increase in storage. Mean scores for organoleptic characteristics of chutney, RTS and squash decreased with an increase in storage period. All karonda products were organoleptic acceptable even after 3 month of storage period.

    Variability studies in chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium ramat.)
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Bhupender Singh; Dudi, O.P.
    The present investigation, “Variability studies in Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.)” was carried out in the experimental orchard, Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University during 2007-80 in winter season on 30 genotypes of chrysanthemum to estimate the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and varietal characterization. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The observations were recorded for plant and floral parameters. All the genotypes differed significantly which indicated a wide range of variation existed among the genotypes under study. The highest flower yield per plant and maximum plant spread was exhibited by Anmol. The estimates of heritability and genetic advance were high for fresh weight of ten flowers, stalk length, plant height, number of buds per plant, number of flowers per plant and flower yield per plant. The correlation and path coefficient analysis revealed that number of flowers per plant, number of buds per plant and plant spread contributed directly as well as indirectly to flower yield. The characters which contributed to flower yield were number of buds per plant, number of flower per plant, plant spread, days to first flower and days to 50% flowering indicating selection of these characters for crop improvement and breeding strategies. Through the schematic flow chart all the genotypes were differentiated. The plant growth habit, leaf margin, leaf colour, stalk shape, disc, flower colour were the key characters, therefore, can be used as morphological descriptors for the varietal identification in chrysanthemum.

    Effect of time of planting and gibberellic acid (GA3) on growth and flowering of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.)
    (CCSHAU, 2008) Sandeep Kumar; Sharma, Jeet Ram
    The present investigations entitled, “Effect of time of planting and gibberellic acid (GA3) on growth and flowering of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.)” were carried out at the experimental orchard, Department of Horticulture, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2007-08. The experiment was laid out in factorial RBD design having seven planting times (last week of February to last week of May) and three gibberellic acid treatments (0 ppm, 50 ppm and 100 ppm) with three replications. Days taken for initiation and complete of sprouting of bulbs were less when bulbs were planted in month of May. The plant growth in terms of plant height, number of leaves per plant and average length of leaves were recorded maximum in 10th April planting which is statistically at par with 23rd March planting, whereas, minimum in 23rd May planting. The days taken for spike initiation, opening of first floret and 50% flowering were recorded minimum in 10th April planting, whereas, maximum in 21st February planting. The duration of flowering was recorded maximum in 10th April planting and minimum in 23rd May planting. The maximum number of spikes per plant was recorded 10th April planting which was at par with 25th April and 23rd March plantings. The maximum length of spike, length of rachis and number of florets per spike were observed in 10th April planting. In case of bulb production, the number of bulbs per plant, weight of bulbs per plant and size of bulbs (dia.) were observed maximum in 10th April planting, whereas, minimum in 23th May planting. Maximum plant height, number of leaves per plant and average length of leaves were recorded with foliar application of gibberellic acid at 100 ppm. Minimum days taken for spike initiation, opening of first floret, and 50% flowering were recorded with GA3 at 100 ppm. The duration of flowering was also recorded maximum with GA3 at 100 ppm. Maximum length of spike, length of rachis and number of florets per spike were observed with GA3 at 100 ppm. This concentration of GA3 also resulted in production of maximum number of bulbs per plant and size of bulbs (dia.) which was statistically at par with 50 ppm treatment. The weight of bulbs per plant was recorded maximum with GA3 application at 50 ppm.
