Utilization of actinomycetes having broad-spectrum of plant growth promoting and biocontrol traits in chickpea, sorghum and rice
Plant pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii (causes collar rot), Fusarium oxysporum (causes wilt) and Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot/dry root rot) have a broad host range, affecting several agriculturally ...
Genome-Wide Scans for Delineation of Candidate Genes Regulating Seed-Protein Content in Chickpea
Identification of potential genes/alleles governing complex seed-protein content (SPC) is essential in marker-assisted breeding for quality trait improvement of chickpea. Henceforth, the present study utilized an integrated ...
Exploration of cultural norms and practices influencing women’s participation in chickpea participatory varietal selection training activities: A case study of Ada’a and Ensaro districts, Ethiopia
In order to encourage gender equality in delivery of varietal knowledge to male and female farmers in Ada‟a and Ensaro districts of Ethiopia, chickpea breeders set a policy that each male farmer would bring along his wife ...
Whole genome re-sequencing reveals genome-wide variations among parental lines of 16 mapping populations in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Background: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second most important grain legume cultivated by resource poor farmers in South
Asia and SubSaharan
Africa. In order to harness the untapped genetic potential available for ...
Analysis of chickpea yield gap and water-limited potential yield inIran
Iran is one of the major chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) producing countries of the world. Average chickpeayield in Iran is about 500 kg ha−1while the world average is 900 kg ha−1. The objective of this study wasto investigate ...
Identification and Validation of Reference Genes and Their Impact on Normalized Gene Expression Studies across Cultivated and Wild Cicer Species
Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR) is a preferred and reliable method for accurate quantification
of gene expression to understand precise gene functions. A total of 25 candidate
reference genes including traditional and ...
Current status of wilt/root rot diseases in major chickpea growing areas of Ethiopia
Wilt/root rot diseases are a major chickpea production constraint in Ethiopia causing yield losses by reducing the number of plants. To
determine the current status of disease incidence and distribution, surveys were ...
Exploring plant growth-promotion actinomycetes from vermicompost and rhizosphere soil for yield enhancement in chickpea
tThe main objective of the present study was to isolate and characterize actinomycetes fortheir plant growth-promotion in chickpea. A total of 89 actinomycetes were screened fortheir antagonism against fungal pathogens of ...
QTL‐seq for rapid identification of candidate genes for 100‐seed weight and root/total plant dry weight ratio under rainfed conditions in chickpea
Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. Two component traits
responsible for reduction in yield under drought stress include reduction in seeds size and root
length/root density. QTL-seq approach, ...
Genome-wide development and deployment of informative intron-spanning and intron-length polymorphism markers for genomics-assisted breeding applications in chickpea
The discovery and large-scale genotyping of informative gene-based markers is essential for rapid delineation
of genes/QTLs governing stress tolerance and yield component traits in order to drive genetic
enhancement in ...
