Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur

The Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) was established on 12th June 1964 at Hyderabad. The University was formally inaugurated on 20th March 1965 by Late Shri. Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India. Another significant milestone was the inauguration of the building programme of the university by Late Smt. Indira Gandhi,the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India on 23rd June 1966. The University was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on 7th November 1996 in honour and memory of an outstanding parliamentarian Acharya Nayukulu Gogineni Ranga, who rendered remarkable selfless service for the cause of farmers and is regarded as an outstanding educationist, kisan leader and freedom fighter. HISTORICAL MILESTONE Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) was established under the name of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) on the 12th of June 1964 through the APAU Act 1963. Later, it was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on the 7th of November, 1996 in honour and memory of the noted Parliamentarian and Kisan Leader, Acharya N. G. Ranga. At the verge of completion of Golden Jubilee Year of the ANGRAU, it has given birth to a new State Agricultural University namely Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University with the bifurcation of the state of Andhra Pradesh as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014. The ANGRAU at LAM, Guntur is serving the students and the farmers of 13 districts of new State of Andhra Pradesh with renewed interest and dedication.

    Validation of QTLs for Yellow Mosaic Virus Tolerance in Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)
    (Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, 2018) KEERTHI, ISSA; SRIVIDHYA, A
    Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), is one of the important pulse crops mainly grown in developing countries. However, the yield level of the crop is very low due to many biotic and abiotic factors. Among biotic factors, yellow mosaic virus (YMV), which is transmitted by white fly (Bemisia tabaci) causes significant yield losses ranging from 10-100%. With this background, the present investigation was initiated to validate the reported markers linked to the YMV resistance in a F2 segregating population. The genotypes, TM-96-2 (Trombay Mungbean), susceptible to Yellow Mosaic Virus (YMV) and EC-396117 (Exotic Collection) tolerant to YMV were chosen as parents for development of F2 population. The parental DNA was screened with 206 markers which include microsatellites (203), RAPD (2) and SCAR (1) to detect the polymorphic markers. Out of these markers, 110 were amplified and 73 markers were not amplified. Of these 110 amplified markers, only 16 primers showed polymorphism (14.5%) between the parents, and the rest of the markers were found to be monomorphic. True F1 plants were selected after confirming their heterozygosity at molecular level using polymorphic microsatellite marker, CEDG305. These F1s were selfed to produce F2 population during Rabi, 2017-2018. As many as 150 F2 individuals along with the parents were evaluated for YMV tolerance at RARS, Tirupati during Summer, 2018 under natural field conditions. The DNA has been extracted from the parents and F2 population. All the 150 F2 plants were screened with the 16 polymorphic markers. Out of these markers, only 5 showed clear scorable bands in F2 xiv population. These 5 markers were CEDG245, CEDG149, CEDG305, DMBSSR125 and CEDG228. Single marker analysis of these five markers in the F2 population using MapDisto software v.2.0 revealed a significant association of CEDG228 marker with YMV tolerance. NCBI-BLAST analysis of primer sequence of CEDG228 hit an expressed gene, LOC106773961 of the greengram genome. In conclusion, the marker, CEDG228, which has shown association with the YMV tolerance in the present investigation, has the potential to use in marker-assisted breeding of the development of YMV tolerant green gram varieties. However, further validation of this marker in a diverse set of resistant and susceptible cultivars is warranted before being used in large scale marker-assisted selection programmes.
