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.

    Polymorphic information content, transferability to other pulses and molecular diversity analysis in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) using microsatellite markers

    Lack of genic and genomic resources in legumes particularly in chickpea, horsegram, blackgram, redgram and cowpea, is the major limiting factor for genome mapping and marker assisted selection in these crops. In the present study, 94 pairs of novel chickpea SSR markers comprising of 70 genic and 24 genomic SSRs were screened against a set of fourteen chickpea genotypes, among which 37 produced polymorphic bands. The polymorphic information content (PIC) value for both genic and genomic marker is ranged from 0.15 to 0.37. Among the polymorphic markers 2 to 3 alleles were detected for genic and 2 to 5 alleles for genomic SSRs. The power of chickpea SSR to amplify in chickpea and five other pulses viz., black gram, horse gram, soybean, red gram and cowpea were also tested to determine the transferability of chickpea SSR marker. Out of 94 chickpea SSRs 91 were transferrable to horse gram, 87 to red gram, 84 to black gram, 84 to soybean and 83 to cowpea. It is an important addition to the already available genomic resources in these legumes. Among transferable markers a few primers were polymorphic indicating their potential for application in genetic studies and mapping. The molecular diversity analysis using 37 polymorphic markers divided the 14 genotypes into two main clusters. Highest similarity was found between genotype A1 and JAKI 9303. The morphological diversity analysis of chickpea showed significant variation for number of pods per plant and test weight.
