    EVALUATION OF LINSEED (Linum usitatissimum L.) GENOTYPES FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-30) Kumar, Sandip; Kumar, Mukul
    The present study consisting 50 linseed genotypes were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications in two environments during Rabi, 2020-21. The first environment was normal irrigated but in second environment, the irrigation was withhold for 30 days in between from 45 days (pre flowering) to 75 days after sowing to imposed water deficit or stressed or drought condition. The genotypes were showed significant variances for all tested traits under both the environments. The mean squares of environments explained most of the total variations for all the traits. The two-way interaction effects of genotype x environments were found to be significant for all the characters except days to 50% flowering and days to maturity. The considerable morphological diversity has been found especially in anther colour, petal venation colour, size of corolla, flower shape, petal and stamen filament colour. Among tolerance indices, HM, YI and STI were more useful indices for prediction of potential yield in both water deficit and non-stress condition. The selection of suitable genotypes considering number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule and biological yield per plant along with their yield performance may be useful when breeding for broad adaptation of linseed for cultivation under drought conditions. On the basis of mean performance of tolerance indices and their ranking, the genotypes, GP-1064, GP-955, GP-820, LMS-16-1-2, GP-807 and LMS-17-1-12 could be identified as tolerant to water stress condition. It is pertinent to reveal that the yield of each genotype equal or above the mean yield of respective normal and stress condition should be considered while ranking and classifying the genotypes on the basis of drought indices.

    CHARACTER ASSOCIATION AND GENETIC DIVERGENCE STUDIES FOR YIELD AND YIELD RELATED TRAITS IN PIGEON PEA [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-30) KUMAR, ANUJ
    The present investigation was carried out at P.G. Research farm of College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh, India in augmented block design-II during kharif 2020-21.The experimental materials comprised of seventy-three genotypes of pigeon pea including three check varieties viz., NDA-1, Bahar and Pant Arhar-291. Analysis of variance showed significant difference for all the traits under study except number of seeds per pod and pod length. The maximum value of PCV were found for the traits days to maturity (32.53%) and days to 50% flowering (25.65%) and PCV minimum for number of seeds per pods (3.17%). Maximum GCV was found for the traits days to maturity (32.38%) and days to 50% flowering (25.35%) and minimum GCV for number of seeds per pods (1.42%). The magnitude of high heritability in broad sense was found for days to 50% flowering (97.62%) followed by biological yield per plant (94.60%) and seed yield per plant (93.52%) and high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for days to 50% flowering (51.59%) followed by days to maturity (39.59%). Traits such as days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight, biological yield per plant, harvest index, shelling per cent showed highest positive significant correlation with seed yield at Phenotypic and Genotypic level. Path coefficient analysis revealed that the highest positive direct effect on seed yield per plant exerted by harvest index, days to maturity, 100-seed weight, number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant and pod length at Phenotypic and Genotypic path correlation coefficient direct effect on seed yield. In cluster analysis, seventy-three germplasm lines were grouped into five different non-overlapping clusters in which cluster I had the maximum number of genotypes (25) followed by cluster III (19 genotypes), cluster II (14 genotypes), cluster V (09 genotypes) and cluster IV (06 genotypes). The first five principal components showed 67.893% of the total variation among the tested genotypes. The genotypes which showed highest genetic diversity can be used as a parent in hybridization program. Early flowering was found in genotype IPA-10W-8-1, IPA-12W-16, IPAM-15-2, IPAB-11-20-2, IPA-12W-46 and genotypes IPA-12W-3 and IPAB-10-13 had the highest seed yield per plant.

    EVALUATION OF FIELD PEA (Pisum sativum var. arvense L.) GERMPLASM FOR TERMINAL HEAT TOLERANCE
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-30) SEEPAL, YASHWANT SINGH; Sharma, Vijay
    The present study was conducted at P.G. research block of college of agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda during rabi season of 2020-2021. The investigation data was recorded under two environment conditions viz. timely sown (E1) and late sown (E2) for eleven morpho-physiological characters for estimation of analysis of variance, correlation coefficient, path coefficient, heat susceptibility index, genetic diversity and principal component analysis. Analysis of variance showed the existing genetic variability among the 143 genotypes of field pea. A wide range of estimates in the mean performance of genotypes was found for all characters under analysis in non-stress and stress condition. Most desirable field pea genotypes identified for eleven characters under heat stress condition for seed yield per plant was EC-341743, P-1679, Shikha, P-1384-3, P-179. The heat susceptibility index (HSI) measures the reduced performance of test genotypes under stress (heat stress) conditions and used to identify the heat tolerant genotype. The genotypes having HSI ≤ 0.5 were considered as highly tolerant to heat stress, HSI 0.5 to 0.75 were heat tolerant, HSI 0.76 to 1.0 were considered as moderately heat tolerant and HIS > 1.00 were considered as susceptible. An overall appraisal revealed that three genotypes viz. P-1384-3, P-1531 and P-1384-1 for high tolerance against terminal heat. Correlation analysis revealed that for non-stress and stress environment seed yield per plant showed high significance and positive correlation with effective pods per plant, biological yield per plant and plant height. In addition to above traits, 100-seed weight and pollen viability also showed significant and positive correlation with seed yield in stress environment. These characters were also mutually correlated with each other in both environmental conditions. This relationship suggested that selection for high effective pods per plant, biological yield per plant, plant height, 100-seed weight and pollen viability are desirable under heat stress condition in increasing the yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed that in timely sown (E1) environment effective pods per plant and biological yield per plant; and in late sown (E2) environment effective pods per plant, biological yield per plant, 100-seed weight, plant height and pollen viability contributed to seed yield directly as well as indirectly. Therefore, due emphasis should be placed on these characters while formulating selection strategy in field pea for developing high yielding varieties with improved heat tolerance. The D2 cluster analysis grouped 143 genotypes into 05 multi-genotypic clusters in both non-stress or stress environment. The distribution of genotypes in different environment was different suggesting thereby that change of environment were effective in affecting the performance of genotypes. The heat tolerant genotypes viz. P-1531, P-1384-1 and P-1384-3 were also scattered among different clusters in different sowing environments. The different clusters in both the environments displayed significant variations in the mean intra-cluster group for all eleven characters. As a result, crosses between cluster members with a high cluster mean for significant characters combined with high inter-cluster distances between them are expected to be more satisfactory. About 11 principal components (PCs) were studied for different traits in which only 4 PCs with eigenvalue >1 accounted 64.24% in E1 and 62.73% in E2. The traits falling to these 4 PCs may be given due importance in field pea improvement programmes. For both E1 and E2, the PC1 had the highest variability (24.62% & 23.27%) followed by PC2 (19.42 & 17.58%), PC3 (10.53 & 11.62%) and PC4 (9.67% & 10.26%).

    MORPHOLOGICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF BLACKGRAM GENOTYPES FOR YELLOW MOSAIC DISEASE RESISTANCE
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-30) TRIPATHI, ANUPAM; Singh, C. M.
    Blackgram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) is one of the most important short duration grain legume, which contributes significantly towards nutritional security and environmental sustainability. The present investigation was carried out with an objective to evaluate the panel of blackgram genotypes for yellow mosaic disease resistance, its molecular validation and understanding the biochemical basis of resistance. The molecular detection confirmed the presence of MYMIV causing YMD. Total of 32 blackgram genotypes were noticed as HR to YMD having 0.00% PDI and DSI over the environments, in which 27 genotypes were validated as HR based on CEDG-180 and CYR-1 genotyping. For exploring linked amplicons, 36 SCoT primers were used for polymorphism survey on test panel of HS and HR genotypes. The SCoT markers namely SCoT-4 (2200bp), SCoT-16 (700bp), SCoT-24 (2500bp), SCoT-25 (700bp), SCoT-33 (900/1000bp), SCoT-34 (600bp), SCot-9 (1150bp/ 1200bp), SCoT-15 (1150bp/ 1100bp). These fragments will be utilized for developing MYMIV linked SCAR markers. The structure analysis of test panel were done using linked unique 08 SCoT loci, which distinguished the HR and HS blackgram genotypes. The analysis grouped all the genotypes in two subpopulation only as HR and HS. The biochemical analysis revealed that the increased expression of ROS indicating the hypersensitive response of wild species as compared to HS genotypes. The activation of Phenyl Propanoid Metabolism in activating the defense mechanism in wild species provide an insight into MYMIV resistance. The increased expression of ROS indicating the hypersensitive response of wild species as compared to HS genotypes. The study provides an insight into identification of robust donors of MYMIV resistance, novel fragments for developing linked SCARs, and biochemical basis of resistance.
