due to its wide adaptability, chickpea is considered as an important crop in arid, semi-arid and in marginal lands. most important factors which limit yield of chickpea are short length of physiological growth period and susceptibility to cold and diseases, especially ascochyta rabie. releasing a chickpea cultivar with high yield and good characteristics such as cold tolerance, resistance to di...

Fusarium wilt caused by oxysporum f.p ciceris (Foc) is a devastating soil-borne disease of the chickpea. The causes crop losses in late-planted chickpeas and no available management option currently exists to recommend farmers. In order determine effect integrating sowing dates with chickpea genotypes on parameters yield, field experiment was undertaken naturally infested soil at Merchouch stat...

in order to evaluate phenological and morphological responses of cold tolerant chickpea genotypes to entezary culture in mashhad conditions, 81 cold tolerant chickpea accessions were cultured during growing year 2006-2007 in research farm of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad. the experiment was carried out in lattice design with three replications including 9 blocks per rep...

in this study, salinity tolerance of 51 kabuli chickpea genotypes was investigated at vegetative growth phase using 4.5 and 6.5 ds/m salt solution (by adding nacl to 1/2 hoagland solution) and 1/2 hoagland solution (ec= 1.7 ds/m) as control treatment. a split plot design was used in this experiment where the main plot was salinity treatments and the sub plot was genotypes. treatments continued ...

The historical and contemporary population genetic structure of the chickpea Ascochyta blight pathogen, Ascochyta rabiei (teleomorph: Didymella rabiei), was determined in the US Pacific Northwest (PNW) using 17 putative AFLP loci, four genetically characterized, sequence-tagged microsatellite loci (STMS) and the mating type locus (MAT). A single multilocus genotype of A. rabiei (MAT1-1) was det...

Flower color is a useful morphological marker in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Inheritance of this trait was studied using two white-flowered chickpea genotypes, P 9623 and RS 11, and one blue-flowered genotype, T 39-1. The genetic constitutions of the white flower colors of P 9623 and RS 11 were different, for in an earlier study their F1 produced pink flowers. The two F1s of the crosses P 96...
