abstract phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, encoded by the pepck gene, plays an important role in gluconeogenesis. it also seems to be important in metabolism of nitrogenous compounds in developing seeds of legumes, including amides and ureides which are then transformed into amino acids, necessary for the synthesis of storage proteins. in this research, pepck gene expression in mrna level, in ...

studies on the genes contributing to the seed filling in chickpea and its protein content might be valuable in engineering plants with seeds of a higher nutritional value. a gene of interest is phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pepck), encoding a protein with a substantial role in the gluconeogenesis pathway. in the present study, the protein content (percentage) was measured in a number of cu...

The genotype × environment interaction has a direct effect on genotypes stability and adaptability in different environmental conditions . In this sense, plant breeders look for genotypes that have general adaptability, or they look for genotypes that have specific adaptability for specific environments. In this regard, 20 chickpea genotypes were used in a randomized complete block design with ...

in dry region, root systems play a major roll in controlling plant growth and yield due to their importance in absorbtion of water and nutrients. in order to evaluate the morphological characteristics of root chickpea and obtaining proper morphological makers for screening drought resistant genotypes, four experiments were conducted in different phenological stages of growth including, seedling...

High experimental validation/genotyping success rate (94-96%) and intra-specific polymorphic potential (82-96%) of 1536 SNP and 472 SSR markers showing in silico polymorphism between desi ICC 4958 and kabuli ICC 12968 chickpea was obtained in a 190 mapping population (ICC 4958 × ICC 12968) and 92 diverse desi and kabuli genotypes. A high-density 2001 marker-based intra-specific genetic linkage ...

Quality seed production of efficient strains can be valuable which are developed through breeding strategy at parental selection emphasizing the morphology and bio-molecular activity germination initiation. The significant distinct variation in qualitative assessment was observed exploited 20 Chickpea genotypes. observable factors like length; breadth, L/B ratio, volume, 1000 weight, α-amylase ...

During winter 2004 and 2005, two field and glasshouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of 471 chickpea genotypes to Ascochyta rabiei, as Ascochyta blight (AB) disease in Chickpea (Cicer aurietimum). Frequent rainfall at flowering and pod formation stages made favorite conditions conducive for the infection and symptoms expression. So, the genotypes with high level of toleranc...

Genotype-environment interaction was studied in seven genotypes of chickpea under four different cultural environments. Significant variation for genotype (G), environment (E) and G × E interactions were found for the characters days to maturity, plant height, pods/plant, seeds/plant, 100-seed weight and seed yield/plant. On the basis of stability parameters the genotypes Barichola-2, Barichola...
