Transcriptome analyses reveal genotype- and developmental stage-specific molecular responses to drought and salinity stresses in chickpea
Drought and salinity are the major factors that limit chickpea production worldwide. We performed
whole transcriptome analyses of chickpea genotypes to investigate the molecular basis of drought
and salinity stress ...
A SSR kit to study genetic diversity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
A chickpea simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker reference kit has been developed based on the
genotyping of the global chickpea composite collection (3,000 accessions) with 35 SSR markers.
The kit consists of three pools ...
Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
InDel markers: An extended marker resource for molecular breeding in chickpea
Chickpea is one of the most important food legumes that holds the key to meet rising global food and nutritional demand. In order to deploy molecular breeding approaches in crop improvement programs, user friendly and cost ...
Whole genome re-sequencing reveals genome-wide variations among parental lines of 16 mapping populations in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Background: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second most important grain legume cultivated by resource poor farmers in South
Asia and SubSaharan
Africa. In order to harness the untapped genetic potential available for ...
Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
Genotypic variation in soil water use and root distribution and their implications for drought tolerance in chickpea
Chickpeas are often grown under receding soil moisture and suffer ~50% yield losses due to drought stress.
The timing of soil water use is considered critical for the efficient use of water under drought and to reduce yield ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
Exploring plant growth-promotion actinomycetes from vermicompost and rhizosphere soil for yield enhancement in chickpea
tThe main objective of the present study was to isolate and characterize actinomycetes fortheir plant growth-promotion in chickpea. A total of 89 actinomycetes were screened fortheir antagonism against fungal pathogens of ...
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, ...
