in the present study, the effect of two species of amf, glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices, alone and in combination, was evaluated on the growth criteria, chlorophyll content, and root rot disease caused by fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, on chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) under greenhouse conditions. chickpea seeds were sown into pots containing 100 g of amf inoculum (more than 1,000 propagule...

Understanding developmental processes, especially in non-model crop plants, is extremely important in order to unravel unique mechanisms regulating development. Chickpea (C. arietinum L.) seeds are especially valued for their high carbohydrate and protein content. Therefore, in order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying seed development in chickpea, deep sequencing of transcriptomes from four...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an important legume crop grown under rainfed agriculture in India. It’s economic success relies on symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) with root nodulating bacterium Mesorhizobium ciceri. These bacteria regularly interact with other rhizospheric microorganisms as well as host endophytic microorganisms. The endophytic bacteria reside latently or colonize the plant tis...

In the present study the use of cheap and ecofriendly biosorbents have been studied as an alternative substitution for commercial activated carbon for the removal of methylene blue from waste water. Batch adsorption study was carried out using inflorescence of Celosia argentea L, stem of Cicer arietinum and cob of Zea mays L as a raw agro waste material. This study investigates the potential us...

Cell suspension cultures of two chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars, resistant and susceptible towards the chickpea pathogen Ascochyta rabiei, were compared with regard to elicitor-induced changes in phytoalexin and isoflavone accumulation. The elicitor was isolated from fermentergrown mycelium of A. rabiei and it mainly consisted of glucose, mannose and N-acetylgalactosamin. Time course an...

Polyadenylated RNA was isolated from total RNA extracted from cotyledons of ungerminated or 18-hour-germinated chick-pea seeds by affinity chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose. Both poly(A)-containing RNA fractions exhibited a template activity when assayed in two cell-free translation systems, wheat germ extracts, and nuclease-treated reticulocyte lysates. Translation of preformed mRNA from c...
