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.

    Studies on floral traits and chemically induced male sterility in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell)
    (CCSHAU, 2003) Kamal Jeet Singh; Rana, R. K.
    The present study was carried out with the objectives of screening wheat lines for genetic variability in floral traits that influence allogamy and to study the effects of CHA on different wheat varieties for induction of male and female sterility and its effects on morphological traits. Data was recorded on various traits and morphological traits. Analysis of variance revealed that considerable amount of variability was present among different genotypes. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation of anther extrusion (%) was relatively greater than that for other characters and indicated the existence of greater amount of variability among genotypes. Anther extrusion (%) showed maximum heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean for all the traits studied. CH 9832 (1000ppm), although induced higher level of male sterility (95.11-100%) but at the same time also affected female fertility and exhibited a variation for female sterility (2.10-65.83%). CH 9832 was not found suitable for HW 2016, WH 671 and PBW 373 because of its phytotoxic effects on female fertility. Genotype WH 291 expressed maximum (24.95 %) out crossing. CHA spray resulted in reduction in plant height, spike length, peduncle length and pollen viability%, in general.
