In present study a proline rich protein has been identified in lentil EST database using (soyabean) glycine max proline rich protein sequence as query sequence known to be down regulated in response to salinity and drought stress. Sequence similarity search has shown 90 % similarity with chickpea EST sequence Accesion no. GR 398344 and 85% similarity with Lens culinaris EST sequence Accession n...

The nutrient composition, antinutritional factors and flour functionality of cowpea and horse gram flours were evaluated in comparison to chickpea flour characteristics. Protein content of these flours was in the range of 22.5 24.1%. Fat content was highest in chickpea (4.8%) and lowest in horse gram (1.4%). Resistant starch and phytic acid were significantly higher in cowpea flour. Compared to...

Blight disease, caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labrousse (teleomorph=Didymella rabiei), is one of the most important biotic stress factors affecting chickpea produc tion worldwide. The high variation in disease severity among different cul tivars and decrease resistance cultivars over time make it necessary to test regularly. aim this research was determine evalu ate changes susceptibility ...

in this research, the effect of water stress on the soluble sugars, starch and proteins content of two different cultivars (kaka and jam) of chickpea (cicer arietinum) was studied. the results showed that the soluble sugars increased while starch decreased during the stress in shoot and root of both cultivars. increasing of soluble sugars and decreasing of starch hall a positive correlation wit...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important pulse crop grown and consumed all over the world, especially in the Afro-Asian countries. It is a good source of carbohydrates and protein, and protein quality is considered to be better than other pulses. Chickpea has significant amounts of all the essential amino acids except sulphur-containing amino acids, which can be complemented by adding cere...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an important food legume crop but lags in the availability of genomic resources. In this study, we have generated about 2 million high-quality sequences of average length of 372 bp using pyrosequencing technology. The optimization of de novo assembly clearly indicated that hybrid assembly of long-read and short-read primary assemblies gave better results. The hybri...

Chickpea is an important grain legume used as a rich source of protein in human diet. The narrow genetic diversity and limited availability of genomic resources are the major constraints in implementing breeding strategies and biotechnological interventions for genetic enhancement of chickpea. We developed an integrated Chickpea Transcriptome Database (CTDB), which provides the comprehensive we...

Yield performances differ according to the environment in which plants are grown. In order determine chickpea cultivars suitable for Kahramanmaraş province, 17 different were tried during growing seasons of 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. Among characteristics examined study, flowering times, pod bind first branch height years, varieties years variety interactions significant as statistical. There sta...
