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 interspecific hybrids between Indian mustard (Brassica juncea Coss. & czern) and white mustard (Brassica alba Moench) through embryo rescue
    (CCSHAU, 2010) Asha Rani; Yadav, R.C.
    Wide hybridization is an important method of incorporation of desirable character. The present study was undertaken to develop an interspecific hybrids between B. juncea cv. RH30, cv. RH8812 and B. alba to incorporate the Alternaria blight resistant character from B. alba to B. juncea. Ovules were excised from siliqua and cultured on seven different media supplemented with different growth regulators. In cv.RH30 X B. alba,the hybrid siliquae were 1.2 to 3 cm in length whereas in case of parent plants of cv. RH30, siliquae length was between 4.1 to 4.5 cm. In cv. RH8812 X B. alba, the hybrid siliquae ranged from 2.8 to 3.4 cm in length while in parent plants of cv. RH8812, the siliquae length was between 4.9 to 5.7 cm. In cross of RH30 X B. alba and RH8812 X B. alba, 48% and 39% pod setting was observed respectively. In case of cv. RH30 X B. alba, highest percent response for ovule germination (79.46%) was observed on MS medium supplemented with kinetin (2.5mg/l) and CH (0.5g/l). In case of Brassica juncea cv. RH8812 X B. alba, highest response (45.63%) of ovule germination was on MS + BAP (2.5 mg/l) + CH (0.5mg/l). Six rooting media were tried for root formation in regenerated shoots. Maximum rooting response was 100% on MS medium supplemented with IAA (0.5mg/l) in both the hybrids. The regenerated hybrid plants were transferred to a mixture of sand: soil in 1:1 ratio in pots and 80 percent hybrid plants survived in the soil.
