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 genotyping for salt tolerance of KHARCHIA65 X HD2285 F2 population in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.em.Thell)
    (CCSHAU, 2014) Suman; Shikha Yashveer
    Experiments were conducted to validate markers (Nax1 and Nax2) for salinity tolerance and phenotyping and genotyping of F 2 Population of cross Kharchia65x HD2285. Net house evaluation data showed enormous variation among Kharchia65x HD2285F 2 plants including plant height (cm), No. of tillers per plant, ear length (cm), No. of grains /ear, No. of spikelets/spike, No. of grains/spikelet, grain yield per plant, 1000 grain weight (g), biological yield/plant (g), harvest index (%) and germination percentage under salt stress condition. ). 90 plants were selected with high yield per plant and their tolerance to salt stress but only 20 plants were found to be Nax2 positive. All the 20 F 2 plants clustered in two major groups at the similarity coefficient of 0.43. Major group 1 consisted of parent HD2285 while major group II had Kharchia65 and all F 2 plants. This is the probably the first report where Nax2 has been validated in Kharchia65 and it clearly indicates that a linked marker like Nax2 could provide a valuable tool for breeding wheat with enhanced tolerance to salinity conditions.
