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 ...
InDel markers: An extended marker resource for molecular breeding in chickpea
Chickpea is one of the most important food legumes that holds the key to meet rising global food and nutritional demand. In order to deploy molecular breeding approaches in crop improvement programs, user friendly and cost ...
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 ...
Photoperiod Response of Annual Wild Species and Cultivated Chickpea on Phenology, Growth, and Yield Traits
Frequent utilization of wild Cicer species in
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) improvement
programs, as well as the regeneration of these
wild species for efficient conservation in genebanks,
is hindered due to photoperiod ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
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 ...
Genome-Enabled Prediction Models for Yield Related Traits in Chickpea
Genomic selection (GS) unlike marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) predicts breeding
values of lines using genome-wide marker profiling and allows selection of lines prior
to field-phenotyping, thereby shortening the breeding ...
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 ...
