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.

    Evaluation of advanced wheat lines for stripe rust resistance and grain quality
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2019-08) Bhawna; Bhawna; Yadav, Neelam R.; Yadav, Neelam R.
    Biofortification of staple foods like wheat without any yield penalty is of utmost importance. Advanced lines introgressed with Gpc-B1 allele were used in the study. The Gpc-B1 allele co-segregated with Yr36 yellow rust resistance gene in all the advanced lines. All WH711-derived advanced wheat lines confirmed for the Yr36/Gpc-B1 allele. Seven advanced lines (WL-8-1, WL-8-2, WL-8-3, WL-8-5, WL-8-6, WL-8-7, WL-8-8) were confirmed for Yr18 while six advanced lines (WL-8-1, WL-8-2, WL-8- 6, WL-8-7, WL-8-8, WL-8-9) were positive for Yr17 gene. All five PBW343-derived advanced lines confirmed for the Yr36/Gpc-B1 allele presence. Three advanced lines (PL-8-2, PL-8-3, PL-8-4) displayed the presence of the Yr18 gene. Two advanced lines (Pl-8-3, PL-8-5) confirmed presence of the Yr17 gene. All the advanced wheat lines derived from WH711 as well as from PBW343 displayed very high levels of resistance against yellow rust and better agronomic characteristics than the parents. Positive correlation was observed in yield and yield related traits. The hectoliter weights of PBW343-derived lines indicated their superiority in terms of good flour recovery than PBW343 and comparable to the checks. WH711- and PBW343- derived advanced wheat lines show better gluten quality and high quantity in sedimentation test. Gpc-B1 allele introgression provided high GPC in WH711 derived advanced wheat lines. Iron and zinc contents of both WH711-derived and PBW343-derived advanced wheat lines were at par when compared to either parent and checks, indicating successful bio fortification of both micronutrients. Two of the WH711-derived lines are being further tested in IPPSN/station trials.
