Journal of Heredity 199738:115-119; 0022-1503/97/J5.00 An integrated genetic linkage map of chickpea (Clcei) has been developed that consists of 9 morphological, 27 isozyme, 10 RFLP, and 45 RAPD markers covering 550 cM. The map was made from segregation data from populations of three interspecific crosses of cultivated chickpea (C. arietlnum, 2n = 16) and a closely related wild species (C. retl...

background and objectives: the food product known as the ‘hamburger’ plays a crucial role in people’s nutrition and the diversity of the food they consume. the reasons for our study include the area under cultivation, the remarkable amount of protein in chickpeas and lentils, as well as the public interest in tending to meat products, especially hamburgers. materials and methods: in this study,...

Research Article Stability analysis for grain yield and yield components in chick pea (Cicer arietinum l.) Abstract: Twenty one advanced breeding lines selected from All India Coordinated trials and one local popular variety " annegiri' were studied over three years to identify high yielding stable genotypes. Genotype , environment and G x E interaction variance found to be significant. Genotyp...

A field investigation was conducted at Agronomy research farm A. S. (P.G) College, Lakhaoti, Bulandshahr during rabi seasons of 2006 and 2007. The treatments consisted combination four cropping systems viz. chickpea sole (M1), linseed (M2), chickpea+ 2:1 ratio (M3) pigeonpea + 4:2 (M4) in main plots; two irrigations vegetative stages (30-40 days) flowering stage (70-75 (S1) one irrigation (S2) ...

Chickpea-chelating peptides were purified and analysed for their iron-chelating activity. These peptides were purified after affinity and gel filtration chromatography from a chickpea protein hydrolysate produced with pepsin and pancreatin. Iron-chelating activity was higher in purified peptide fractions than in the original hydrolysate. Histidine contents were positively correlated with the ir...

The present study reports the large-scale discovery of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in chickpea, identified mainly through the next generation sequencing of two genotypes, i.e. Cicer arietinum ICC4958 and its wild progenitor C. reticulatum PI489777, parents of an inter-specific reference mapping population of chickpea. Development and validation of a high-throughput SNP ge...

This work was designed to evaluate whether external application of nitric oxide (NO) in the form of its donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) could mitigate the deleterious effects of NaCl stress on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants. SNAP (50 μM) was applied to chickpea plants grown under non-saline and saline conditions (50 and 100 mM NaCl). Salt stress inhibited growth and biomass y...

Domain swapping and generation of chimeric insecticidal crystal protein is an emerging area of insect pest management. The lepidopteran insect pest, gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H.) wreaks havoc to chickpea crop affecting production. Lepidopteran insects were reported to be controlled by Bt (cryI) genes. We designed a plant codon optimized chimeric Bt gene (cry1Aabc) using three domains...
