Resistance in Kabuli Chickpeas to Fusarium Wilt
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) is a major constraint to production of kabuli chickpeas (Cicer arietinum) in the Mediterranean basin. To identify sources of resistance to Fusarium wilt for use in a breeding ...
Registration of ‘ILC 3279’ Chickpea
Registration of ‘ILC 3279’ Chickpea
Effect of supplementary irrigation during reproductive growth on winter and spring chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in a Mediterranean environment
Inadequate soil moisture is one of the main constraints on the productivity of chickpea in the rainfed farming systems of the dry areas in West Asia and North Africa. The response to irrigation at flowering and pod filling ...
Diversity for responses to some biotic and abiotic stresses and multivariate associations in Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the common cultivated type of chickpea in arid and semi-arid environments in the Mediterranean region. Ascochyta blight, (Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr.), leaf miner (Liriomyza ...

Morphological variation in wild annual Cicer species in comparison to the cultigen
Wild species have been exploited for the transfer of useful genes in most of the major crops, but little has been done in chickpea improvement. Therefore, 228 accessions of eight annual wild Cicer species plus 20 domesticated ...
Associations of some characters with seed yield in chickpea collections
Three thousand two hundred and sixty-seven kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm accessions were grown during the spring season of 1980 at Tel Hadya, the main research station of ICARDA, Syria to determine the ...
Sources of resistance to cyst nematode in cultivated and wild Cicer species
Among the nematodes infesting chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants in Syria, cyst nematode (Heterodera ciceri Vovlas, Greco et Di Vito) is the most important. It is uneconomical to grow chickpea in fields infested with ...
Advances In Disease-Resistance Breeding In Chickpea
This chapter reviews the past work on disease resistance breeding in chickpea and discusses the strategies to tackle unsolved disease problems. Methods for breeding disease-resistant chickpea cultivars are similar to those ...
Useful genetic diversity in germplasm collections of food and forage legumes from West Asia and North Africa
The germplasm collections at ICARDA of faba bean, chickpea, lentil and forage legumes have been exploited by breeding programmes in the West Asia and North Africa region for production of improved cultivars. The first lines ...
