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.

    GENETIC ANALYSIS FOR FRUIT YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS AND TAGGING TRAITS RELATED TO WATER USE EFFICIENCY IN TOMATO (Solanum spp.)
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, GKVK BENGALURU, 2018-12-07) SURESH, K; SAVITHRAMMA, D. L.
    The present investigation was carried out to assess the variability and diversity for traits to water use efficiency and fruit yield in tomato germplasm during 2013 at GKVK, UAS, Bengaluru. The study revealed moderate to high PCV and GCV in most of the traits studied. K-mean cluster analysis revealed high level of morphological diversity as indicated by diverse clusters which is informative for breeding programs. Drought tolerance analysis identified MP, GMP, HAM and STI as more effective indices and EC 677068, EC 608271, EC 676792, EC 586980 and EC 676783 as most drought tolerant accessions. Further, twelve inter-specific hybrids developed from seven parents selected on basis of SCMR, SLA and Δ 13C were evaluated in RCB design during Kharif 2014. The parents EC 771612 and LA 2567 and crosses VRCT 174 × EC 519100, EC 771597 × EC 771612 × LA 2657 recorded significant gca and sca effects for most of traits related to WUE and fruit yield respectively. Moderate to high coefficient of variability was noticed in F2 and F3 populations of cross EC S. lycopersicum cv. EC 771612 × S. pennellii cv. LA 2567 and positive platykurtic skewed distribution indicating dominance based complementary gene interaction in the inheritance of traits studied. Five generations of the cross EC 661257 × LA 2657 revealed additive gene effect (d) and presence of duplicate dominant epistasis in all the traits except specific leaf area. Out of 212 SSRs surveyed for polymorphism only 24 were found to be polymorphic between the parents and were used in Bulk segregant analysis. SSR 19 and SSR 218 showed putatively linkage to SCMR and SLA respectively, can be used for selection of high water use efficient genotypes.

    GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR GAMMA RAYS INDUCED MUTAGENESIS FOR PRODUCTIVITY PER SE TRAITS AND MALE STERILITY IN ADVANCE GENERATIONS OF RAGI (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.)
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BANGALORE, 2019-07-22) PRASHANT VASISTH; RANGAIAH, S.
    important traits. Therefore, an investigation was aimed to study the gamma rays induced mutagenesis for male sterility and productivity traits in ragi. M3 seeds suspected for partial male sterility of two irradiated genotypes, GPU 28 with 3 doses (300,400,500 Gy) and KMR 204 with 2 doses (300,400 Gy) were used in present study. Screening for pollen sterility was done using acetocarmine test in M3 generation and observations were recorded on ten quantitative traits (except for sterile plants). Seventy six partial sterile mutants were identified having above 70% pollen sterility, were forwarded for evaluation of progenies in two experiments. In experiment (a) Sixty three (31 from M3 –GPU 28 and 32 from M3 –KMR 204) were evaluated in progenies phenotypically and 43 progenies were non segregating (fertile), 20 were segregating for fertility in M4 of GPU 28 and KMR 204. In experiment (b) a total of 13 partial sterile mutants (6 from M3 –GPU 28 and 7 from M3 –KMR 204) were evaluated in M4 and found 9 mutants with both male and female sterility. Fifty eight mutants (31 from M3 –GPU 28 and 27 from M3 –KMR 204) were advanced from M3 to M4 for the evaluation for yield. Ten M4 families (5 from M4 – GPU 28 and 5 from M4 –KMR 204) and 20 individual mutants (11 from M4 –GPU 28 and 9 from M4 –KMR 204) were found in M4 generation having higher seed yield than checks.

    EVALUATION OF SUDAN GRASS (Sorgjium sudanense (Piper) Stapf.) GERMPLASM FOR COMBINING ABILITY
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Bangalore, 2004-01-30) MALLIKARJUN, S. BISANKOPP; VIJAYAKUMAR, S
    The study was undertaken to evaluate sudan grass germplasm cultures for combining ability in respect of forage yield and its components and also to assess the per so performance and magnitude of heterosis in sorghum x sudan grass hybrids. Forty eight FTs in line x tester fashion involving two sorghum male sterile lines and 24 cultures of Sudan grass germplasm as testers, their parents and four checks (DFJ-1, SSV-74, SSG 59-3 and SSG 898) were planted in a randomized block design during Rabi-summer season of 2000-2001 at Regional Research Station, Raichur.
