Prioritization of candidate genes in “QTL-hotspot” region for drought tolerance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
A combination of two approaches, namely QTL analysis and gene enrichment analysis were used
to identify candidate genes in the “QTL-hotspot” region for drought tolerance present on the Ca4
pseudomolecule in chickpea. In ...
Effect of plant growth-promoting Streptomyces sp. on growth promotion and grain yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L)
The physiological and molecular responses of
six strains of Streptomyces sp. (CAI-13, CAI-85, CAI-93,
CAI-140, CAI-155 and KAI-180), with their proven potential
for plant growth-promotion (PGP) in rice were
studied to ...
Salt Stress Delayed Flowering and Reduced Reproductive Success of Chickpea (Cicer arietinumL.), A Response Associated with Na+Accumulation in Leaves
Salinity is known to reduce chickpea yields in several regions of the world. Although ion toxicity associated with salinity leads to yield reductions in a number of other crops, its role in reducing yields in chickpea ...
A Genome-wide Combinatorial Strategy Dissects Complex Genetic Architecture of Seed Coat Color in Chickpea
The study identified 9045 high-quality SNPs employing both genome-wide GBS- and
candidate gene-based SNP genotyping assays in 172, including 93 cultivated (desi and
kabuli) and 79 wild chickpea accessions. The GWAS in a ...
Molecular breeding for introgression of fatty acid desaturase mutant alleles (ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B) enhances oil quality in high and low oil containing peanut genotypes
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) control composition of ...
Deploying QTL-seq for rapid delineation of a potential candidate gene underlying major trait-associated QTL in chickpea
A rapid high-resolution genome-wide strategy for molecular mapping of major QTL(s)/gene(s) regulating important agronomic traits is vital for in-depth dissection of complex quantitative traits and genetic enhancement in ...
Identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and yield related traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under different water regimes in Niger and Senegal
Yield under drought stress is a highly complex trait with large influence to even a minor fluctuation in the environmental conditions. Genomics-assisted breeding holds great promise for improving such complex traits more ...
High yielding and drought tolerant genotypes developed through marker-assisted back crossing (MBAC) in chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second largest grown food legume crop in the
world after common bean. This crop is largely grown under rainfed conditions in Asia
and sub-Saharan Africa where terminal drought is the ...
Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the most important grain legume in Ghana. However, its production
is constrained by a myriad of biotic and abiotic stresses which necessitate the development and use of
superior varieties ...
Genetic mapping of QTLs controlling fatty acids provided insights into the genetic control of fatty acid synthesis pathway in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.).
Peanut, a high-oil crop with about 50% oil content, is either crushed for oil or used as edible products. Fatty acid composition determines the oil quality which has high relevance to consumer health, flavor, and shelf ...
