Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
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 ...
Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
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, ...
Identification of QTLs for resistance to Fusarium wilt and Ascochyta blight in a recombinant inbred population of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Fusarium wilt (FW; caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) and Ascochyta blight (AB; caused by Ascochyta rabiei) are two major biotic stresses that cause significant yield losses in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). In ...
Integrating genomics for chickpea improvement: achievements and opportunities
The implementation of novel breeding technologies is expected to contribute substantial improvements in crop productivity. While conventional breeding methods have led to development of more than 200 improved chickpea ...
Satellite imagery and household survey for tracking chickpea adoption in Andhra Pradesh, India
The objective of this study was to map the temporal changes in
chickpea cropped area over the last decade in Andhra Pradesh
using remote-sensing imagery. Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data composited ...
Inheritance of protein content and its relationships with seed size, grain yield and other traits in chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), the second
largest grown pulse crop of the world, is an important
source of protein for millions of people, particularly in
South Asia. Development of chickpea cultivars with
further enhanced ...
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 ...
