Central Agricultural University, Pasighat

The Central Agricultural University has been established by an act of Parliament, the Central Agricultural University Act, 1992 (No.40 of 1992). The Act came into effect on 26th January, 1993 with the issue of notification by the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), Govt. of India. The University became functional with the joining of first Vice-Chancellor on 13th September, 1993. The jurisdiction of the University extends to six North-Eastern Hill States viz., Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Sikkim and Tripura, with headquarters at Imphal in Manipur. College of Horticulture & Forestry, a constituent College of the Central Agricultural University, Imphal, Manipur, was established on 7th March 2001 at Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh on the bank of beautiful river Siang.

    Studies on Genetic variability in chilli (Capsicum annum L.) germplasm through morphological and biochemical markers

    Analysis of variance revealed that significant difference among the genotypes for all the characters. High PCV and GCV, heritability and genetic gain were observed for all the characters except days to 50% flowering. Correlation studies indicated that green fruit yield per plant was positively and significantly correlated with weight of green fruit, weight of ripe fruit, weight of dry fruit, fruit length,fruit girth , fruit pedicel length, number of seed per fruit and dry fruit yield per plant but negative and significant association was established with days to 50% flowering and capsaicin content. Maximimum positive direct effect on green fruit yield per plant was imposed by dry fruit yield per plant, weight of green fruit, fruit length and ascorbic acid content. However, high negative direct effect was observed for weight of dry fruit. Divergence study revealed that number of seed per fruit contributed maximum percent to diversity followed by fruit length, fruit pedicel length, capsaicin content, fruit girth and weight of ripe fruit. Maximum inter cluster distance was observed between cluster IV and VI and indicated that the genotypes within these were highly divergent. SDS-PAGSE analysis showed considerable variation in band number of protein which ranged from 8-18. Protein banding profile showed that the genotype CHFC-50 (A landrace of Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh) was most distantly related to CHFC-52 (A landrace of Maram, Manipur). Hence, it was recommended that these two genotypes (CHFC-50 and CHFC-52) could be utilized for crossing programme to create more genetic diversity. SDS-PAGE marker data provided more sub grouping and revealed higher amount of diversity as compared to morphological data in present study.
