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.

    STUDIES ON THE TRANSFERABILITY AND EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT DNA MARKER SYSTEMS FROM OTHER VIGNA SPECIES IN MUNG BEAN (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)
    (Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur, 2019) MANORAMA, KESINENI; RAMANA, J.V.
    The present investigation was carried out at MBB lab, Advanced Post Graduate Centre, Lam, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is a self-pollinated crop. It is a diploid grain legume (2n=22) with a genome size of 579 Mbp. It is a good substitute for meat in most Asian diet and a significant component of various cropping system. To characterize 38 genotypes of mung bean using SSR, RAPD and ISSR markers to study the transferability, efficiency and polymorphism. The study was to examine the transferability of SSR, RAPD and ISSR markers in mung bean from related Vigna spp and study their validity in efficiency analysis. Sixty four markers were used which includes forty six SSR, nine RAPD and nine ISSR. Forty seven markers (thirty two markers of SSR, nine primers of RAPD and six primer of ISSR) out of the sixty four markers were amplified from other Vigna species and transferable to mung bean. Thirty two primers of SSRs which were transferred to mung bean were from other Vigna species. Adzukibean, Blackgram, Chickpea, Cowpea and Rice bean showed 89, 100, 40, 70 and 67 per cent transferability, respectively. The range of transferability across Vigna species was 67-100%. The range of transferability across mung bean genotypes was 7- 100%. Nine primers of RAPD which were transferred to mung bean were from other Vigna species have shown 100% transferability to mung bean. Nine RAPD markers were transferable which yielded fifty nine alleles with an average of 6.6 alleles per locus. The transferability range across mung bean genotypes was 73.7 – 100%. Six primers of ISSR which were transferred to mung bean were from other Vigna species have shown the transferability range 50- 100%. The range of transferability across mung bean genotypes was 92 - 100%. xiv Expected heterozygosity of SSR, RAPD and ISSR marker ranges from 0.05- 0.5, 0.491 and 0.145-0.499 respectively. Average heterozygosity of SSR, RAPD and ISSR is 0.256, 0.113 and 0.132.respectively. Average EMR ratio for SSR, RAPD and ISSR markers 2.03, 4.676 and 2.57 respectively. Average marker index value for SSR, RAPD and ISSR was 0.57, 1.73 and 0.834 respectively. CEDG103, CEDG022 and CaGM01514 markers were mostly monomorphic among all the mung bean genotypes under study. Most markers were polymorphic which was less than 5 i.e. least informative. OPN 9 primer of blackgram showed unique allele at 900 bp in Pusa Baisakhi. Jaccard’s similarity coefficient ranged for SSR markers from 0.61 to 0.88. Highest JSC value in cluster I and lowest JSC value in cluster IV. Jaccard’s similarity coefficient for RAPD ranged from 0.6 - 1. Highest JSC value in cluster I and lowest JSC value in cluster IV. Jaccard’s similarity coefficient for ISSR ranged from 0.56 - 1. Highest JSC value in cluster I and lowest JSC value in cluster III. In conclusion, RAPD and ISSR were multi locus marker systems expected to produce higher EMR and MI values were efficient than single locus (SSR) marker systems. RAPD and ISSR were good in the detection of polymorphism and also efficient marker systems. Similarity coefficients were same for multi locus marker systems (ISSR and RAPD) which is low than single locus marker systems (SSR). Finally they indicated narrow genetic base of tested green gram landraces. Breeding between the genotypes (intraspecific) in mung bean shows less variation. So, better to go for interspecific breeding to develop variation.
