    CHARACTERIZATION OF WILD VIGNA SPECIES FOR SEEDLING WATER-LOGGING TOLERANCE AS REVEALED BY PHYSIO-CHEMICAL AND EXPRESSION PROFILING
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-24) Kumar I, Sandeep; Singh, C.M.
    Mungbean is the most important short duration grain legume. It is consumed as food and feed, fodder and manure crop. It has wider adaptability to array of environmental conditions, shorter life cycle and improves the soil health through symbiosis. These features indicated that there is an ample scope of vertical and horizontal expansion of mungbean worldwide. However, it is much weather sensitive crop in which water logging at early crop growth stage caused sever plant loss and stunted growth. The development of water logging tolerant mungbean varieties required the potential donors. The crop wild relatives (CWRs) and cross species Vigna possessed improved tolerance can be identified and introgressed in mungbean. The 32 Vigna accessions including cultivated and wild belong to nine different species were evaluated and six genotypes namely PRR 2008-2, PRR 2008-2-1, TCR-93, L-24, TCR-20 and W-17 were found as water logging tolerant. These tolerant genotypes had better survival, strong root system, proper shoot elongation and delayed chlorophyll degradation. The two genotypes PRR 2008-2-1 and PRR 2008-2 showed induction of adventitious roots from the hypocotyl region under water logging stres. The histochemical staining indicated the lower cell death in leaves of PRR 2008-2. The PRR 2008-2 showed formation of aerenchyma as adoptive mechanism as compare to IPM 2-3. The higher activity of ADH, proline and O2 were was recorded in PRR 2008-2 whereas it was lower in IPM 2-3. The expression of candidate genes and transcriptional factors provides a fundamental resources for understanding signaling behaviour, hormonal regulation and antioxidant homeostatsis involved in water logging tolerance.

    STUDIES ON HETEROSIS AND COMBINING ABILITY IN FIELD PEA (Pisum sativum var. arvense)
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA, 2022-08-08) YADAV, INDU; Sharma, Vijay
    A diallel experiment excluding reciprocals entitled “Studies on heterosis and combining ability in field pea (Pisum sativum var. arvense)” was conducted during the rabi season of 2021-22 at the P.G. Research Farm of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh. The experimental material comprised of 8 diverse genotypes and their 28 hybrids and two checks IPFD 10-12 and Ambika. The analysis of variance reveals that the mean square due to parent v/s hybrid was significant only for plant height, 100- seed weight, biological yield per plant and seed yield per plant. The cross P-1541-16 × P1297-97 followed by P-1297-97 × P-92-97-11 and P-1541-16 × P-92-97-11 recorded the highest significant economic heterosis for seed yield per plant. In addition to seed yield per plant, combining ability analysis showed highly significant GCA and SCA effects for all the traits under study except days to maturity for GCA which showed importance of both additive and non-additive genetic component of variation. Parental lines viz., Aman, P1297-97 and P-541-16 were found to be good general combiner for seed yield per plant along with number of pods per plant and number of effective pods per plant. The most promising crosses with high specific combining ability for yield were EC-564817 × Vikas, EC-564817 × P-1426, P-1541-16 × P-92-97-11 and Aman × Vikas. These crosses could be used for development of high yielding variety through heterosis breeding programmes.

    ThesisTitle “Assessment of combined terminal heat and drought stress tolerance in wheat (Triticum spp.)”
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA-210001, UTTAR PRADESH, (INDIA), 2022-08-19) Kuamr, Shubham; Kumar, Hitesh
    Wheat is a second staple food crop and which feeds billions of people around globally while its productivity hinders by high temperature and drought stress. The evaluation of genotypes under stress conditions for adaptive traits could increase selection efficiency for better performance. The present investigation was carried out with 34 wheat landraces and elite cultivars during 2020-21 & 2021-22 under optimum, heat, and a combined heat-drought stress environment at BUAT Banda & KVK Jhansi. Eleven agromorphological, five physiological, and six stress indices were used to evaluate genotypes to assess drought and heat tolerance. The pooled ANOVA indicates significant interactions in location, year, genotypes, and treatments suggesting the influence of trait development affected by stress conditions. The maximum reduction of the seed yield was observed under a combined heat-drought stress environment as compared to heat stress alone. The genotypes Local-17, and HI 8802 performed well under heat and heat-drought stress with higher yield at the Banda and HI 8627 and DBW 187 performed well under heat stress with higher yield while under heat-drought stress PDW 274 and HI 8777 were better performing genotypes at the Jhansi location The genotype PDW 274 showed stress tolerance under all treatment and both location .The genotype, PDW 233 & PDW 291 durum wheat showed the highest stress susceptibility index (SSI) across the environment at both locations. The NGS&TKW is directly positively associated with seed yield across the environment and location. Among physiological traits chlorophyll and CT are good sources of traits to select potential genotypes to cope up the adverse effect of climate change in wheat production. The combination of selection indices and consistent association with physiological traits showed the potential to increase the selection efficiency of superior genotypes.

    “Characterization of Lentil Genotypes for Yield Component and Terminal Heat Stress Tolerance Traits”
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY,BANDA, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA, 2022-08-08) Kumar, Deepak
    Lentil is a cool-season food legume with an excellent source of protein, prebiotic carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. The present investigation was carried out at P.G. Research farm of College of Agriculture, BUAT, Banda, Uttar Pradesh, India in augmented block design during Rabi season 2021-22. The experimenting materials comprised of 123 genotypes of lentil containing exotic as well as indigenous germplasm lines of lentil including three check varieties viz. KM-1, KM-2 and PANT L-7. The data were recorded under two environments viz. timely sown (E1) and late sown (E2) for sixteen morpho-physiological characters for estimation of DUS characterization, analysis of variance, correlation coefficient, heat susceptibility index, yield stability index and principal component analysis. The considerable morphological diversity has been found especially in foliage intensity of green color, leaflet size, plant growth habit, seed size, and seed testa colour. Analysis of variance showed that wide range of variability under both environmental conditions. A wide range of estimates in the mean performance of genotypes was found for all characters under both the environmental conditions. LSS-18- 149, L-112-6 were identified as heat tolerant genotypes on the basis of HSI for economic yield/plant. An overall appraisal revealed that eight genotypes viz. KLS 1461, KLS1453, KL-09-01, KL 127, LOCAL, WBL-58, L-112-6 and EC-542186 exhibited highly heat tolerance on the basis of heat susceptibility index and yield stability index for economic yield/plant under both the conditions. Correlation coefficient of HSI and YSI among different traits exhibited significant and positive correlation of economic yield/plant with effective pods/plant, secondary branches/plant, total pods/plant and biological yield/plant. Principal component analysis exhibited highest cumulative variability of PC6 which contributed 65.7% in E1 and 67.4% E2 among all traits. Economic yield/plant was positively correlated with the no. of effective pods/plant, biological yield/plant, total chlorophyll content, canopy temperature depression and no. of secondary branches/plant in both the condition of normal and heat stress.

    Heterosis and combining ability for yield and its contributing traits in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)
    (BANDA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE & TECHNOLOGY, BANDA, UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA, 2022-08-10) Prajapati, Pawan Kumar; Kumar, Mukul
    A half diallel experiment involving six parents was carried out in randomized block design with three replications at PG research Farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh, India to assess the gene action, combining ability (GCA and SCA) and heterosis for seed yield and its eight contributing characters in linseed under agro climatic condition of Bundelkhand region. The genetic analysis was done following Griffing’s Method II with Model I (1956). The study revealed the importance of both additive and non-additive gene effects for all the traits with preponderance of nonadditive gene effects for seed yield per plant, Days to 50% flowering, Days to maturity, Plant height, Number of branches per plant, Number of capsules per plant, Number of seeds per capsule and Biological yield per plant whereas 1000-seed weigh showed predominance of additive gene effect. On the basis of general combining ability (GCA), the parents, LMS 2015-27 and Shekhar could be exploited for developing prolific pure lines varieties in linseed. The parallelism between heterosis and SCA effects indicated that heterotic response alone may be good indicator for selection of superior cross combinations, On the basis of comparison of per se performance, SCA effects and heterotic response for seed yield and its number of important attributing traits, the crosses, Shekhar × GP-1050, LMS 2015-27 × GP-1028, Shekhar × GP-820, LMS 2015-27 × GP-820 and LMS 2015-27 × GP-1050 may be included in recombination breeding for developing high yielding genetic stock/varieties in linseed.
