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.

    Characterization of hybrids and their parental lines in cotton(Gossypium spp.)
    (CCSHAU, 2007) Mohana Kumara. M.R.; Punia, R.C.
    In the present investigation, seven cotton hybrids and their parental lines were studied at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2006-2007.All the genotypes were studied for characterization based on morphological characters and laboratory techniques. The morphological characters such as Hypocotyl pigmentation, plant height, growth habit, stem hairiness, leaf shape, leaf appearance, leaf pubescence, leaf lobe number, boll surface, boll shape, boll colour,gossypol glands, petal colour, bract type, bract number of serration, anther colour, petal spotting, position of the stigma and petiole pigmentation were found as the most important parameters for characterization. The genotypes were also subjected to sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of total soluble seed proteins. The findings showed that SDS-PAGE of seed proteins resolve total of 23 bands which were present in different position with different intensity. Band number 19 was present only in Gossypium hirsutum genotypes differentiated from the Gossypium arboreum genotypes. The Flow charts were prepared based on morphological characters and protein fingerprints. The identification keys were also prepared on the stable morphological characters. All the genotypes were differentiated using morphological characters and protein molecular markers.
