Novel Sources of Tolerance to Aluminium Toxicity in Wild Cicer (Cicer reticulatum and Cicer echinospermum) Collections [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
In acid soils, the toxic form of aluminium, Al3+, significantly inhibits root growth and elongation, leading to less water and nutrient uptake. Previous research had shown differential Al toxicity tolerance among cultivated Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea);

Comparative transcriptome profiling reveals molecular mechanisms of freezing stress responses in cultivated and wild Cicer species [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Chickpea is a globally important food legume, but its productivity is significantly constrained by low-temperature stress, particularly during autumn and winter sowing, as well as by sudden temperature fluctuations in late spring. Although wild relatives

Assessing cold stress resilience in wild chickpea accessions using physiological, biochemical, and reproductive traits [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Domesticated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) exhibits high sensitivity to temperatures below 20/10 °C during its reproductive phase resulting in substantial loss of flowers, pods and crop yields.

Exploring Chickpea Germplasm Diversity for Broadening the Genetic Base Utilizing Genomic Resourses

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Legume crops provide significant nutrition to humans as a source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids as well as specific macro and micronutrients. Additionally, legumes improve the cropping environment by replenishing the soil nitrogen content. Chickpeas are

The Impact of Domestication on Aboveground and Belowground Trait Responses to Nitrogen Fertilization in Wild and Cultivated Genotypes of Chickpea (Cicer sp.)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Despite the importance of crop responses to low fertility conditions, few studies have examined the extent to which domestication may have limited crop responses to low-fertility environments in aboveground and belowground traits.
