LAZZARO, M. D., and THOMSON, W. W. 1989. Ultrastructure of organic acid secreting trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Can. J. Bot. 67: 2669-2677. The acid-secreting trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were composed of 18 cells, including 1 basal cell, 3 elongate stalk cells, and 14 head cells. A subcuticular secretion chamber with cuticular pores was present above the head cells at ...

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...

Terminal drought is one of the major constraints in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), causing more than 50% production losses. With the objective of accelerating genetic understanding and crop improvement through genomicsassisted breeding, a draft genome sequence has been assembled for the CDC Frontier variety. In this context, 544.73Mb of sequence data were assembled, capturing of 73.8% of the ge...

The aim of this study was to isolate, identify and characterize ascochyta blight pathogens from Cicer judaicum , a wild annual Cicer species which grows in Israel and other Mediterranean countries in sympatric distribution with legume crops, and determine their virulence and aggressiveness to other wild and domesticated legumes. Native C. judaicum plants exhibited symptoms resembling ascochyta ...

in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol and irrigation intervals on yield and yield components of chickpea cultivars a factorial experiment as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in spring 2008 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. the treatments were 10 and 20 irrigation interva...

Chickpeas are a rich source of dietary protein and phenolic bioactives that promote human health, they widely used as food culinary ingredients in current ethnic cuisines around the world. Due to its natural drought heat tolerance, chickpea will become increasingly important with climate change. Chickpea is an indeterminate crop flowering over long period time, leaf branch formation continuing ...

We present here the complete genome sequences of a novel polerovirus from Trifolium subterraneum (subterranean clover) and Cicer arietinum (chickpea) and compare these to a partial viral genome sequence obtained from Macroptilium lathyroides (phasey bean). We propose the name phasey bean mild yellows virus for this novel polerovirus.

INTRODUCTION Cicer arietinum is an important self-pollinated diploid crop 2n=2x=16 with genome sized approximately 931 Mbp (Arumuganathan and Earle 1991). India is the largest producer of chickpea, contributing with about 66% of the total global production, followed by Turkey, Pakistan and Mexico (Thangwana and Ogola 2012). It is a major source of protein (12.4-31.5%), energy, fiber, vitamins, ...
