We discovered 26785 and 16573 high-quality SNPs differentiating two parental genotypes of a RIL mapping population using reference desi and kabuli genome-based GBS assay. Of these, 3625 and 2177 SNPs have been integrated into eight desi and kabuli chromosomes, respectively in order to construct ultra-high density (0.20-0.37 cM) intra-specific chickpea genetic linkage maps. One of these construc...

Ascochyta rabiei is the causal agent of blight of chickpea, an important food legume crop for human populations in Developing Countries. All reliably identified isolates of the fungus produce toxins in culture, known as the solanapyrones, of which solanapyrone A is the most frequently found and also the most toxic. The principal aim of the project was to determine the role of this toxin in the ...

Ascochyta blight (AB) is a fungal disease that can significantly reduce chickpea production in Australia and other regions of the world. In this study, 69 chickpea genotypes were sequenced using whole genome re-sequencing (WGRS) methods. They included 48 Australian varieties differing in their resistance ranking to AB, 16 advanced breeding lines from the Australian chickpea breeding program, fo...

in order to  study of environment × genotype interaction and selection of stable and high yielding and cold  tolerant chickpea lines, this study carried out  with 13 chickpea genotypes along with one local check (jam) in a rcb design with four replications during three cropping seasons (2009-2012) in agricultural research station of maragheh (dari). the genotypes were exposed to cold temperatur...

Water deficit is an important factor limiting crop growth all over the world. In order to evaluate genetic variation, heritability and the interrelationship between agronomic traits, twenty chickpea genotypes were cultivated in two separated randomized complete block experiments with three replications under normal irrigated and rainfed conditions. The experiments were carried out at the Agricu...

abstract- the effects of iron (fe) and zinc (zn) treatments on the growth and nutrient composition of chickpea were studied in a greenhouse experiment arranged in a completely randomized design. while the application of fe decreased mean shoot dry weight of chickpea, that of zn had no significant effect on chickpea shoot dry weight. increasing fe levels drastically decreased mn concentration an...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm, collected from diverse research centers of the world were characterized for nodulation (Nod+ or Nod-) and evaluated for response to seed inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum in terms of number of nodules plant-1 and seed yield plant-1. Forty three genotypes, procured from Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Peshawar, Gram Research Stati...

Twenty-one genotypes of chickpea were used in the experiment, which was carried out by using a Randomized Block Design with three replications at Department Genetics and Plant breeding, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Naini Allahabad, U. P during rabi season 2021-22. The present investigation to morphologically characterization classify on basis DUS descriptors sug...
