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.

    DEVELOPMENT OF INTRASPECIFIC LINKAGE MAP OF CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.) USING SSR MARKERS TO IDENTIFY QTL’S INFLUENCING FUSARIUM WILT RESISTANCE, SEED YIELD AND YIELD RELATED TRAITS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2016-12-23) DALPAT, LAL; Ravikumar, R. L.
    Fusarium wilt (FW) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, is one of the important soil borne disease of chickpea. Eight races of the pathogen have been reported and race 1A is a more prevalent in India causing significant yield losses. The present study aim to validate reported linked markers for wilt resistance to race 1A, using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from cross JG 62 (FW susceptible) and WR 315 (FW resistant). Forty two markers linked to FW resistance in chickpea were selected for validation. Twenty three markers were polymorphic in parents and used for genotyping the RILs. The RILs were phenotyped for wilt reaction over two seasons in sick field at ICRISAT and in sick pots in the green house condition. The linkage map with 23 markers had three linkage groups with an average marker density of 9.53 cM. Five QTLs for early wilting and three QTLs for late wilting were identified. In addition sixty polymorphic markers were used for genotyping the RILs and developed a linkage map. The map had two linkage groups with coverage of 768.92 cM and marker density of 13.73 cM. Totally 12 QTLs, five QTLs for wilt score on 30th day and seven for wilt score on 60th day were obtained for wilt reaction with a LOD score ranging from 2.75 to 9.36. The 13 markers which showed linkage to wilt resistance, were validated across nine diverse chickpea genotypes. Only two markers CS27 and CaM1402 were validated across genotypes and reliable. The marker H4G11, CaM1402, CS27 and H3A12 were found to be useful in molecular breeding for wilt resistant. Two major QTLs for days to 50% flowering, two for test weight and one for number of pods per plant were also identified by phenotyping the RILs over two seasons.
