A chickpea genetic variation map based on the sequencing of 3,366 genomes
Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation, characterization and utilization of germplasm resources1. So far, few chickpea (Cicer arietinum) germplasm accessions have been characterized ...
CRP-GLDC Annual Report 2021
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) is an international consortium led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and implemented by CGIAR, and ...
Patterns of Resistance and Susceptibility to Races of Ascochyta rabiei Among Germ Plasm Accessions and Breeding Lines of Chickpea
To identify sources of resistance to the six races of Ascochyta rabiei reported from Lebanon and Syria, 1,069 germ plasm accessions and breeding lines were screened against the races in the greenhouse at Tel Hadya, Syria, ...
Evaluation of a World Collection of Chickpea Germ Plasm Accessions for Resistance to Ascochyta Blight
A world collection of 9,574 desi and 3,836 kabuli germ plasm accessions of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was evaluated for Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei) resistance at the International Center for Agricultural Research ...
Consultants' Meeting on Uses of Grain Legumes
The purpose of holding the Consultants' Meeting on Uses of Grain Legumes is to discuss the current utilization aspects of grains. of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), and ground nut (Arachis hypogea) ...
Management options for rainfed chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in northeast Ethiopia under climate change condition
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the important cool season food legumes in the semi-arid north-eastern Ethiopia. Climate change is projected to alter the growing conditions of chickpea in this region and there would ...
Assessment of Genetic Variability and Heritability of Agronomic Traits of Ethiopian Chickpea (Cicerarietinum L) Landraces
Ethiopia has a large number of Desi type chickpea landraces. In the country, limited information is available on the performance of the landraces regarding of important agronomic traits. Thus, 202 chickpea landraces and ...
Mainstreaming Efficient Legume Seed Systems in Eastern Africa: Challenges, opportunities and contributions towards improved livelihoods
This technical paper begins with an introduction to
grain legumes and their importance in Eastern Africa,
followed by trends in production and productivity,
variety development, release and promotion.
It proposes and ...
Modeling climate change impact on chickpea production and adaptation options in the semi-arid North-Eastern Ethiopia
The semi-arid north-eastern Ethiopia region is characterized by low and variable rainfall. Terminal drought stress is the major constraint for chickpea production in this region. Climate change has also become one of ...
Towards the Development, Maintenance and Standardized Phenotypic Characterization of Single-Seed-Descent Genetic Resources for Chickpea
Here we present the approach used to develop the INCREASE “Intelligent Chickpea” Collections, from analysis of the information on the life history and population structure of chickpea germplasm, the availability of genomic ...
