The Field Experimentation Centre conducted the current experiment using 22 genotypes of chickpea. Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj Department Genetics and Plant Breeding during Rabi 2021–2022 in Randomized block design with three replications. 13 quantitative variables were studied data, including analysis variance, variability assessment, heritabili...

Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster are the best tools to measure degree of divergence suggest parents for future crop improvement programmes. A study was done using 64 chickpea genotypes including desi kabuli types provided from RARS, Nandyal. Research conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla during Rabi 2021-22 in 8×8 square lattice design. Data collected 13 quantitat...

To identify potential genotypes for location specific breeding programmes of Andhra Pradesh, genetic diversity among 537 chickpea germplasm accessions was assessed yield attributing traits during rabi 2020-21 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Acharya N.G. Ranga University, Nandyal, Pradesh. K-means clustering utilised to ascertain distances which were grouped into 12 different clusters...

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...

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...

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri (Foc) is a constant threat to chickpea productivity in several parts of the world. Understanding the molecular basis of chickpea-Foc interaction is necessary to improve chickpea resistance to Foc and thereby the productivity of chickpea. We transformed Foc race 2 using green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene and used it to characterize pathog...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a native crop of Asia which is grown worldwide including Iran.In this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.The experimental design was split plot with RCBD replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 January,4 February,and 5 March) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a cheap source of protein and rich in minerals for people living developing countries. In order to assess the existing molecular genetic diversity determine population structures selected Ethiopian chickpea germplasm accessions (118), set 46 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers equally distributed on genome were genotyped. A total 572 alleles detected from SSR m...

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...
