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.

    DOCUMENTATION AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF MUSHROOMS IN GKVK CAMPUS, UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, BENGALURU, KARNATAKA

    Mushrooms are epigeous and hypogeous fleshy fruiting bodies of fungi belonging to Basidiomycetes and certain Ascomycetes. Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra (GKVK) campus of University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) Bengaluru, provides congenial climate for the growth and development of variety of mushroom species. In the present study, twenty one mushroom species were documented from the campus during rainy season (July-October-2014). While collecting the mushrooms, the field information such as date, abundance, growth habit, substrate and location were recorded. The collected mushrooms were identified by ITS region sequence homology using National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) data base. The sequences of the collected mushrooms when compared with NCBI data base revealed 87-100 per cent homology. The mushrooms identified based on sequence homology are Macrolepiota globosa (GKVK-1), Ganoderma australe (GKVK-2), Lepista sp. (GKVK-3), Phlebopus portentosus (GKVK-4), Termitomyces sp. (GKVK-5), Agrocybe pediades (GKVK-6), Leucoagaricus crystallifer (GKVK-7), Podoscypha petalodes (GKVK-8), Agaricus sp. (GKVK-9), Tricholoma giganteum, (GKVK-10), Coprinellus disseminates (GKVK-11), Ompholotus olivascens (GKVK-12), Agaricus sp. (GKVK-13), Macrolepiota dolochula (GKVK-14), Panus conchatus (GKVK-15), Marasmius leveilleanus (GKVK-16), Polyporus arcularius (GKVK-17), Lepiota fuscovinacea (GKVK-18), Agrocybe semiorbicularis (GKVK-19) and Marasmius sp. (GKVK-20). The mushroom designated as GKVK-21 was identified based on its phenotypic characters as Ganoderma lucidum which is a medicinal mushroom.
