'Trees of Agra' depicts the entire tree line of Agra comprising
photographs and description of 161 trees spotted growing in the
gardens, public places, the historical monuments like Taj Mahal,
Sikandra, Shahjehan Park, Rambagh, Dayalbagh, educational
institutions, hotels, road sides, reserve forest and the country
side of Agra district.All the plants included in this book have
been grouped in different well established families of plant
kingdom. In all, there are 48 families, including one from
monocotyledons and three from gymnosperms, representing so many
trees in and around Agra. These families are arranged
alphabetically for Angiosperms and Gymnosperms separately.The
description of each family gives basic clues for identification of
trees belonging to that family. Each family bears a common name,
given in the bracket along with its order to which this family
belongs, number of genera & species is also mentioned after the
bracket. Likewise each plant has a common name, botanical name and
the family name. The photograph of each plant in the form of figure
also has the name of the place. Thus this book will help the
readers to identify these trees in other places also.
Soybean rust and yellow mosaic diseases substantially reduce the
yield. A Disease resistant variety developed by transfer of
resistance genes in superior line is the most desirable approach.
Field screening revealed significant differences among genotypes
for disease reaction. Under field evaluation, none of the genotypes
including rust differentials (PI 200492, PI 230970, PI 462312,
'Ankur', PI 459025, PI 200477, PI 230971, PI 459024, TK - 5 and
Wayne) showed rust resistance, indicating evolution of new rust
race(s); However, yellow mosaic (YMV) resistant varieties 'PK 416',
'PK 564', 'PK 1024', 'PK 1029', 'SL 528' have still maintained
their resistance status. The genotypes SL 603, SL 295 remained free
of YMV, while SL 328 and three derived lines from the cross PS 1024
x Ankur (F3) were highly resistant. F2 lines derived from crosses
PS 1024 x Ankur, Ankur x PS 1024 and PK 416 x Samrat and genotypes
Ankur, PS 1024, PS 1029, PK 416 and PS 564 were resistant. This
work caters to the plant breeders and pathologist, working on the
host-pathogen interactions with information on hybridization, field
screening and development of disease tolerant varieties.
