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);

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

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

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.
