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.

    TARGETED INDUCED LOCAL LESIONS IN GENOMES (TILLING)-BASED MOLECULAR MUTAGENESIS AND SPEED BREEDING IN PAPAYA cv. ARKA PRABHATH FOR ENHANCING FRUIT QUALITY AND YIELD TRAITS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2022-12-28) SMITHA, S.; VAGEESHBABU, S. HANUR
    The papaya cv. Arka Prabhath is an advanced gynodioecious cultivar developed at ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru. The seeds were treated with various doses (0Gy, 50Gy, 100Gy, 150Gy, 250Gy and 500Gy) of gamma radiation to study the mutational influence on the fruit quality and yield traits. The LD50 was noted to be at 250 Gy for gamma irradiations. The lowest plant height in T5 (26+cm) with 45 days of early flowering was observed in M1 generation. Early bearing family was H with 56 days, whereas family E showed dwarf stature at first flowering among M2 mutants. In M4 mutant, early flowering was observed in Family H and C with 55 and 54 days meanwhile showed lowest error of variance. The shelf life studies, post harvest analysis and biochemical parameters were studied among all selected 36 mutant lines. Based on 14 to 16 days enhanced shelf life, quality fruit storage, pulp thickness, highest TSS of 14°brix, less post harvest loss in weight, good fruit cavity, length and width. Higher total soluble sugars, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content carotene and lycopene content in the fruit pulp ten mutant lines were forwarded. In order to study the sequence variations, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP’s) and insertions and deletions in fruit ripening genes viz., ACC-oxidase, ACC-synthase and ETR-1. Gene amplification of 10 selected mutants R12P17, R14P15, R16P18, R17P14, R1P7, R5P13, R7P2, R19P10, R21P15 and R25P14 of ACC-oxidase, ACC-synthase and Ethylene receptor-1 resulted in 957bp, 1465bp and 2217bp fragments, these were cloned, plasmids were sequenced. The Multiple sequence alignments revealed several point mutations, SNP’s and insertions at various positions. These results confirmed the sequence various is mainly due to induction of different doses of gamma radiation induced to seeds. These changes in morphological, physical and biochemical variations in plants and fruits may be due to induced mutation.
