QTL‐seq for rapid identification of candidate genes for 100‐seed weight and root/total plant dry weight ratio under rainfed conditions in chickpea
Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. Two component traits
responsible for reduction in yield under drought stress include reduction in seeds size and root
length/root density. QTL-seq approach, ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
Identification of QTLs for resistance to Fusarium wilt and Ascochyta blight in a recombinant inbred population of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Fusarium wilt (FW; caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) and Ascochyta blight (AB; caused by Ascochyta rabiei) are two major biotic stresses that cause significant yield losses in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). In ...
A Brief Report of the International Chickpea Varietal Trials (ICVTs) 2018/19
In India, ICAR and ICRISAT work as a team for chickpea improvement research and this collaboration has been highly effective in developing improved chickpea cultivars. The chickpea breeding materials supplied by ICRISAT ...
Inheritance of protein content and its relationships with seed size, grain yield and other traits in chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), the second
largest grown pulse crop of the world, is an important
source of protein for millions of people, particularly in
South Asia. Development of chickpea cultivars with
further enhanced ...
