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

Seed-Derived Microbial Community of Wild Cicer Seedlings: Composition and Augmentation to Domesticated Cicer [PDF]
Seed-borne bacteria are a unique group of microorganisms capable of maintaining stable populations within plant tissues and seeds. These bacteria may benefit their host from germination to maturation and are of great interest for basic and applied plant ...

Transcriptomic Analysis of Flowering Time Genes in Cultivated Chickpea and Wild Cicer. [PDF]
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a major grain legume and a good source of plant-based protein. However, comprehensive knowledge of flowering time control in Cicer is lacking.

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

Characterization and identification of annual wild Cicer species for seed protein and mineral concentrations for chickpea improvement [PDF]
Developing nutrient-rich crop cultivars is the most economic strategy to combat malnutrition resulting from protein and mineral deficiencies. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important staple grain legume source of good quality dietary protein ...

Assessing genetic diversity and performing genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) using multiple marker types across desi, kabuli, and wild accessions in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) [PDF]
Genetic diversity is a key aspect of the selection of superior genotypes in crop varietal improvement. Breeding activities in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) have successfully enhanced the genetic diversity by introducing variations from wild relatives and

Greater ecophysiological stress tolerance in the core environment than in extreme environments of wild chickpea (Cicer reticulatum) [PDF]
Global climate change and land use change underlie a need to develop new crop breeding strategies, and crop wild relatives (CWR) have become an important potential source of new genetic material to improve breeding efforts.

Development of trait-specific genetic stocks derived from wild Cicer species as novel sources of resistance to important diseases for chickpea improvement [PDF]
Low level of resistance to major diseases such as ascochyta blight (AB), botrytis grey mould (BGM) and dry root rot (DRR) in the cultivated chickpea genepool necessitates harnessing wild Cicer species.

Wild Cicer species exhibit superior leaf photosynthetic phosphorus- and water-use efficiencies compared with cultivated chickpea under low-phosphorus conditions. [PDF]
Domesticated chickpea cultivars exhibit limited genetic diversity. This study evaluated the effects of chickpea domestication on phosphorus (P)‐use efficiency (PUE) under low‐P conditions, using a diverse Cicer collection, including wild species.
