Exploitation of wild annual Cicer species for widening the gene pool of chickpea cultivars
Introgression of unadapted genes from the wild Cicer species could
contribute to the widening of genetic base of important traits such as
yield, yield attributes and resistance to major biotic and abiotic stresses.
An ...
Diversity Analysis among Chickpea Genetic Stock as Revealed Through STMS Marker Analysis
Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea germplasm can provide useful information for the selection of parental material and thus help in planning breeding strategies.In the present study, a total of 57 STMS loci were analyzed ...
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 ...
First report of root rot caused by Pythiumspp. on chickpea in South Africa
Chickpea is a relatively new crop in the NE South Africa. High incidences of plant death were observed in an experiment that was established in 2012 in Mziniti, South Africa to assess the agronomic performance of 66 elite ...
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 ...
