University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    GENETIC DIVERSITY ESTIMATION FOR POD AND SEED QUALITY TRAITS IN BUSH TYPE FRENCH BEAN (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) ACCESSIONS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, 2019-09-03) ASHWINI, D.; Shyamalamma, S
    French bean is an important grain legume grown for its green pods and dry seeds. The present study on diversity estimation for pod and seed quality characters was carried out on thirty French bean accessions along with check varieties based on morphological characters and SSR markers. The accessions IC329154, EC500474, EC559576 and EC283179 showed higher number of fresh pods per plant and total fresh pod weight. The accessions EC500474, EC530843, EC512801 and IC311676 showed higher number of dry pods per plant, seeds per pod and seed length. Majority of the accessions showed slightly curved pods with pear shaped pod cross section and all the accessions possessed string. In majority of the accessions seed shape observed was truncate fastigiated and exhibited varying seed coat pattern. The dominant pod colour was yellow green and dominant seed coat colour was orange white. The SSR markers, BM175 and BM164 exhibited higher polymorphism among the accessions and varieties. The PIC value ranged from 0.19-0.36. Dendrogram constructed to assess the genetic diversity among French bean accessions and varieties using SSR marker data grouped accessions into two major clusters. The accessions mentioned above can be used in the breeding programme, for pod and seed quality traits.
