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.

    MORPHOLOGICAL AND SSR MARKERS CHARECTERIZATION OF MANGO CLONES OF ALPHONSO
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2010-07-16) PRADEEP, M. P.; SATHYANARAYANA, B. N.
    In India, Alphonso is a well known, premier cultivar which occupies the prime position. In this cultivar few clones with distinct characters have been observed. The origin of all these clones is not known but these are indigenous to different parts of India. It is highly probable that the variation between the clones is due to eco-geographical conditions they have been exposed to and micro or macro level mutation from the parent cultivar Alphonso. The present study was conducted to ascertain differences among eight mango clones of Alphonso by using morphological and SSR marker approach during the year 2009 and 2010. Generally, a wide variation was noticed in Alphonso clones with respect to physical and chemical parameters of the fruit and percentage incidence and extent of spongy tissue disorder. The dendrogram based on 16 morphological marker data successfully distinguished all eight Alphonso clones from one another. Based on this analysis, Alphonso clones have been grouped in to two major clusters as ‘A’ and ‘B’. Cluster ‘A’ consisted of clones which are mainly collected from Bengaluru region and the clones collected from Dharwad District were placed in cluster ‘B’. The eight Alphonso clones and a Mallika variety were characterized at genomic level using 16 SSR primers. Among them only 2 primers were successful in establishing the differences between Alphonso clones and Mallika variety but failed to distinguish between the Alphonso clones. A dendrogram constructed by Ward’s method of clustering grouped all the Alphonso clones separately from Mallika variety. It can be concluded that, though the various Alphonso clones are morphologically different from each other but it could not be ascertained at genomic level by the presently employed set of SSR primers.
