Chickpea genetic resources and its utilization in India: Current status and future prospects
Chickpea is recognized as most nutritious pulse crop and
with respect to acreage, it ranks at the top among pulses in
India. Realizing the significance of plant genetic resources,
special efforts were made by the National ...
Identification of stable drought tolerant landraces of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) under multiple environments
Drought is a major constraint to chickpea production leading to maximum crop loss. Further the narrow genetic base of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) can be widened by crossing them to landraces and wild species of which ...
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 ...
Chickpea Landraces: A Valuable and Divergent Source for Drought Tolerance
Chickpea incurs heavy yield losses due to terminal heat and drought as it is largely grown under rainfed restricted
irrigated conditions on residual soil moisture. The narrow genetic base among cultivated chickpea accessions ...
Genome-wide conserved non-coding microsatellite (CNMS) marker-based integrative genetical genomics for quantitative dissection of seed weight in chickpea
Phylogenetic footprinting identified 666 genome-wide paralogous and orthologous CNMS (conserved non-coding microsatellite) markers from 5′-untranslated and regulatory regions (URRs) of 603 protein-coding chickpea genes. ...
Technology gap, constraint analysis and improved production technologies for yield enhancement of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum) under arid conditions of Rajasthan
Agriculture is the mainstay of livelihood in arid region of Rajasthan and improvement in the agricultural productivity is one of the most important strategies to reduce poverty, ensuring food and livelihood security in the ...
NARROWING YIELD GAPS THROUGH GENETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR FUSARIUM WILT RESISTANCE IN THREE PULSE CROPS OF THE SEMI-ARID TROPICS
Chickpea, pigeonpea and lentil constitute the major component of low-input agriculture in the semi-arid tropics
(SAT). These pulses play an important role in alleviating malnutrition by way of forming an inseparable ...
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 ...
Identification and characterization of novel penta-podded genotypes in the cultivated lentil
Our study reports the identification of two novel multi-flowering (MF) genotypes,
PMF-1 and PMF-2, in cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), stably
forming up to five flowers per peduncle (FPP) on I2 nodes at multiple ...
Development and Characterization of Recombinent Inbreed lines for Seed Related Traits in Chickpea
Seed traits are very important factors in improving yield and productivity of chickpea. However being
quantitative in nature, gains through direct selection for these traits particularly for bolder seed size with higher ...
