Chickpea evolution has selected for contrasting phenological mechanisms among different habitats
Arguably the most important adaptive criterion in annual crops is appropriate phenology that minimizes exposure to climatic stresses and maximizes productivity in target environments. To date this has been achieved empirically ...
Genetic Adjustment to Changing Climates: Chickpea
It has now been predicted that future crops and agriculture systems have to face variable climates and these changes require adjustment of crops to feed the world growing population. For sustainable global food and feed ...
Pathotype IV, a New and Highly Virulent Pathotype of Didymella rabiei, Causing Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea in Syria
The causal agent of Ascochyta blight disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is highly variable because of the presence of a sexual phase (Didymella rabiei). There is also selection pressure on the pathogen due to wide ...
Distant Hybridization and Alien Gene Introgression
This chapter reviews the information on the present status of wild gene pools, their evaluation, introgression through distance hybridization and future crossing potential, crossability barriers and means to overcome them, ...
Gene introgression in grain legumes
The wild species of grain legumes are valuable gene pools, particularly for resistance to biotic and
abiotic stresses. These have largely remained under-utilized due to crossability barriers, but there are some examples ...
Genetic Diversity of Iranian Accessions, Improved Lines of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and Their Wild Relatives by Using Simple Sequence Repeats
Biodiversity information in available germplasm is very useful for the success of any breeding program. To establish genetic diversity among 44 genotypes of chickpea comprising cultigen, landraces, internationally developed ...
