A genome-wide SNP scan accelerates trait-regulatory genomic loci identification in chickpea
We identified 44844 high-quality SNPs by sequencing 92 diverse chickpea accessions belonging to a seed and pod trait-specific association panel using reference genome- and de novo-based GBS (genotyping-by-sequencing) assays. ...
Development of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid detection of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris - wilt pathogen of chickpea
Background
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt is a devastating pathogen of chickpea. In chickpea, various soil borne pathogens produce (s) similar symptoms, therefore cannot be ...
Integrated breeding approaches for improving drought andheat adaptation in chickpea (Cicer arietinumL.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a dry season food legume largely grown on residual
soil moisture after the rainy season. The crop often experiences moisture stress
towards end of the crop season (terminal drought). The ...
Plant growth-promoting traits of Pseudomonas geniculata isolated from chickpea nodules
A bacterium, isolated from nodules of chickpea grown in alluvial soils of Haryana state of India, designated as IC-76 was characterized for in vitro plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties and further evaluated under ...
Genome-wide dissection of AP2/ERF and HSP90 gene families in five legumes and expression profiles in chickpea and pigeonpea
APETALA2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) and heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) are two
significant classes of transcription factor and molecular chaperone proteins which are known to
be implicated under abiotic and biotic ...
Biological control of Botrytis cinerea and plant growth promotion potential by Penicillium citrinum in chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.)
A total of 48 fungi were characterised for their antagonistic potential againstBotrytis cinereacausing Botrytis Gray Mold (BGM) disease in chickpea by dualculture and metabolite production assays. The culture filtrate of ...
Elevated CO2 influences host plant defense response in chickpea against Helicoverpa armigera
Global atmospheric concentration of CO2 is likely to increase from 350 to 750 ppm over the next 100 years. The present studies were undertaken to understand the effects of elevated CO2 on enzymatic activity and secondary ...
Plant growth-promoting actinobacteria on chickpea seed mineral density: an upcoming complementary tool for sustainable biofortification strategy
The present study was evaluated to test the potential of plant growth-promoting actinobacteria in increasing seed mineral density of chickpea under field conditions. Among the 19 isolates of actinobacteria tested, significant ...
Plant growth promoting rhizobia: challenges and opportunities
Modern agriculture faces challenges, such as loss of soil fertility, fluctuating climatic factors and increasing pathogen and pest attacks. Sustainability and environmental safety of agricultural production relies on ...
