Exciting journey of 10 years from genomes to fields and markets: Some success stories of genomics-assisted breeding in chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut
Legume crops such as chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, mostly grown in marginal environments, are
the major source of nutrition and protein to the human population in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. These
crops, however, ...
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 ...
Eco TILLING-Based Association Mapping Efficiently Delineates Functionally Relevant Natural Allelic Variants of Candidate Genes Governing Agronomic Traits in Chickpea

Genetic dissection of seed-iron and zinc concentrations in chickpea
The SNP-based high-resolution QTL mapping mapped eight major genomic regions harbouring robust QTLs governing seed-Fe and Zn concentrations (39.4% combined phenotypic variation explained/PVE) on six chromosomes of an ...
Multiple post-domestication origins of kabuli chickpea through allelic variation in a diversification-associated transcription factor
Crop domestication and subsequent diversification represent adaptations to humanbuilt
environments and offer insights into the
evolutionary forces that shape phenotypic diversity. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), a widely ...
Early generation seed production of grain legumes (faba bean, chickpea and lentil)
About 357.151 ha of early generation seed of different seed classes were planted and 794.693 t of seed was produced in 2015/16 crop season. In Ethiopia breeder, pre-basic and basic seed of faba bean and chickpea were ...
Characterising root trait variability in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume crop but its sustainable production is challenged by predicted climate changes, which are likely to increase production limitations and uncertainty in yields. ...
