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.

ThesisItem Open Access Assessment of Nutritional Status of Pregnant Women With Special Reference to Anaemia and Obesity in District Hisar ( Haryana)(CCSHAU, 2016) Sethi, Divya; Dahiya, SarojThe present study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state to assess the nutritional status of pregnant women and impart nutrition education to the selected pregnant women. A total of 250 subjects having pregnancy of third trimester selected randomly from different hospitals of district Hisar. Respondents from both govt. and private hospitals selected so as to draw a sample of both urban and rural women.Nutritional status of pregnant women was assessed in terms of dietary assessment, anthropometric measurement (height, weight and skin fold thickness) and clinical assessment of signs and symptoms of various nutrient deficiency diseases. Dietary assessment was done by 24 hour dietary recall method for three consecutive days of 100 respondents. The results of the study revealed that consumption of all food stuffs like cereals, pulses etc were lower in the diets of pregnant women. Nutrients like energy, fat, β- carotene, B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Iron and Calcium were found limiting in the diets of pregnant women. It was found that caste, family size, income, working status and education of respondents and husband‘s education had significant (P<0.05) effect on food intake of selected pregnant women. Effect of caste, family size,family type, income, respondent‘s occupation and education, husband‘s occupation and education were found to be significant (P<0.05) on nutrient intake of the pregnant women. Result indicated that out of 250 pregnant women 79.2 per cent pregnant women were anaemic while 20.8 per cent were non anaemic. Effect of type of family and income were significant (P < 0.05) on prevalence of anaemia. Majority 47.2% women were overweight, 25.2 percent obese, 22.8 percent normal weight and 4.8 percent underweight.Nutrition education was imparted to 50 selected pregnant women. It was found that majority of the responents had inadequate knowledge regarding nutrition before imparting nutrition education. After imparting nutritional education there was significant (P<0.01) improvement in knowledge of pregnant women in all the characteristics.ThesisItem Open Access Genetical, Biochemical and Molecular Basis of Cotton Leaf Curl Virus Disease in Gossypium hirsutum L.(CCSHAU, 2016) Sonika; Sangwan, R.S.The inheritance of cotton leaf curl virus disease indicated the complementary type of gene interaction (9:7) which indicated that this trait was digenically controlled. Generation mean analysis revealed significant differences for some traits where the A, B, C and D individual scales were also significant for some characters indicated thereby the presence of non-allelic interactions. Additivedominance model was found fit for days to flower in crosses (I, II and III), boll number in crosses (II, III and IV), boll weight in crosses (I, II and IV), GOT in all the four crosses, seed index in cross (IV), lint index in all the four crosses and seed cotton yield in crosses (I, III and IV). Dominance component was significant for most of the characters. Duplicate type of interaction was apparent for days to flower (cross IV) and plant height in crosses (I, II and IV). Among biochemical parameters, sugar content was significantly higher in susceptible parents than resistant parents. Phenol, tannin, gossypol content and enzymatic activities of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidases were significantly higher in resistant parents as compared to susceptible parents. Oil content did not show any particular trend. The correlation matrix among different biochemical parameters revealed that cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuD) grading (0-6) at 60 DAS, showed positive significant correlation with sugar content while other biochemical parameters viz. phenol, gossypol, tannin, crude protein and enzymes peroxidase (PO) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) showed significant negative correlation. CLCuD grading did not show any correlation with oil content. The same trend was observed in all of the four crosses at 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS) except in sugar, phenol, polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and protein (90 DAS). Twenty eight ISSR primers were used to study molecular variation among parental genotypes and their F1s. A total of 175 alleles were amplified unambiguously by 28 ISSR primers, of which 127 alleles were polymorphic (72.57 per cent). Polymorphic information content (PIC) value was found in the range of 0.495 to 0.907. The ISSR primer UBC 834 was found to have maximum PIC value (0.907) which indicated that this primer is more informative and can be further used to identify resistant genotypes from the germplasm or breeding material. The cluster analysis led to the distribution of parents and their F1s in to different groups at the similarity coefficient value of 0.54-0.85. Cluster A, included parent HS 6, cluster B bifurcated further into different sub-clusters indicated that parents GCH 3 and H 1353 and their F1s were present on the upper side of the dendrogram and parents HS 6 and RST 9 on the lower side of the dendrogram. Genetic similarity by ISSR analysis showed that parental genotypes GCH 3 and HS 6 were quite distinct from each other.ThesisItem Open Access Molecular mapping of bacterial blight resistance gene, drought tolerant QTL(s) and genetic diversity analysis in clusterbean {Cyamopsis tetragonoloba(L) Taub}(CCSHAU, 2011) Bajaj, Anshu; Boora, K.S.The present investigation was carried out to screen genetic diversity using RAPD markers and to identify and map the QTL for resistance to bacterial blight and drought tolerance in clusterbean .The plant material was procured from Forage section . For bacterial blight, the resistant (HG 75) & susceptible(PNB) genotypes were selected & crossed to generate F3 population. The F3 population was used to map QTLs. For drought tolerance studies genotypes HG 563 (tolerant) & PNB (susceptible) were used to generate the mapping population (F 2:3).The genetic diversity studies were carried out in 48 genotypes of clusterbean using 130 RAPD primers and 97 primers produced amplification of 705 alleles ;out of which 644 were polymorphic. The similarity ranged from 0.11 to 0.97.The dendrogram grouped the genotypes into two major clusters at a similarity coefficient of 0.68. A variety FS277 was out grouped which is a forage variety. The genotype GP96 and F5277 were found to be most diverse (89%).The QTLs were identified for bacterial blight resistance using parental genotypes (HG75 & PNB) & their F3 population. The F 3 population was screened artificially for disease resistance along with the parent genotypes. Polymorphic primers were used to screen the F3 population & the major QTLs were identified for disease resistance using parental genotypes, HG75, PNB and their F 3 population. A total of 83 RAPD primers were used to screen the parental genotypes out of which nine primers were polymorphic. These primers were used to screen the F 3 population and the QTLs found were L19 , D1, AB7 and QLTY 3. Parental genotypes HG563 and PNB and their F2-3 genotypes were screened at field and net house for resistance to drought. Out of fifty genotypes, 12 were highly tolerant, 23 were moderately tolerant and 15 were susceptible to drought. The parents were screened with eighty seven primers out of which, sixteen were found polymorphic and nine QTLs were found linked to drought tolerance. Loci OPQ 20,OPD10, OPD14,OPQ 12,OPAC 8 and OPF 9 were major contributing QTLs and OPAC2,OPL3 and OPF17 are minor QTLs The diverse lines may be used for breeding programs to improve the production of agronomically superior genotypes of guar. The major QTLs for bacterial blight and drought tolerance may be used for introgression into agronomically superior genotypes of guar.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on the biology of onionwead (Asphodelus Tenuifolius cav.) and its herbicidal control in chickpea(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1984) Sahai, Bhagwan; Khanna, S.
