Harnessing the hidden allelic diversity of wild Cicer to accelerate genomics-assisted chickpea crop improvement

Molecular Biology Reports, 2022
Chickpea, commonly called Bengal gram or Garbanzo bean, faces a productivity crisis around the globe due to numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. The eroded genetic base of the cultivated Cicer gene pool is becoming a significant bottleneck in developing stress-resilient chickpea cultivars.

Resistance to Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. in a wild Cicer germplasm collection

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2005
Cultivated chickpea germplasm collections contain a low frequency of ascochyta blight resistant accessions. This might lead to limitations on the future progress of chickpea breeding worldwide. In an effort to identify novel sources of resistance to ascochyta blight, 56 unique accessions, comprising 8 annual wild Cicer species, were evaluated under a

Morphological variation in wild annual Cicer species in comparison to the cultigen

Euphytica, 1997
Wild species have been exploited for the transfer of useful genes in most of the major crops, but little has been done in chickpea improvement. Therefore, 228 accessions of eight annual wild Cicer species plus 20 domesticated kabuli chickpea lines were evaluated for 23 vegetative, flower, fruit and seed descriptors at the International Center for ...

Mapping resistance to Phytophthora root rot identifies independent loci from cultivated (Cicer arietinum L.) and wild (Cicer echinospermum P.H. Davis) chickpea

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2018
Major QTL for Phytophthora root rot resistance have been identified in three mapping populations with independent sources of resistance contributed by C. echinospermum and C. arietinum. Phytophthora root rot (PRR) caused by the oomycete Phytophthora medicaginis is a major soil-borne disease of chickpea in Australia.

Diversity for abiotic and biotic stress resistance in the wild annual Cicer species

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 1998
Data on 228 accessions of eight annual wild Cicer species and 20 cultivated chickpea check lines were evaluated for diversity in response to six of the most serious biotic and abiotic stresses which reduce crop yield and production stability of chickpea, i.e., ascochyta blight, fusarium wilt, leaf miner, bruchid, cyst nematode, and cold.

Screening WildCicerSpecies for Resistance to Fusarium Wilt

Plant Disease, 1996
Wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, is the most widespread soilborne disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). In an attempt to identify new sources of resistance to wilt, 102 accessions of six wild annual Cicer species were evaluated in the greenhouse. The isolate from central Italy used in this experiment has been characterized by using

Characterization of resistance to ascochyta blight of selected wild Cicer germplasm

Botany, 2015
The resistance of 24 perennial Cicer accessions to Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. was assessed under field and greenhouse conditions. Two perennial and two annual Cicer accessions with superior resistance were examined and compared with susceptible (‘CDC Xena’) and resistant (‘CDC Frontier’) domesticated Cicer arietinum L.

Utilisation of wild Cicer in chickpea improvement — progress, constraints, and prospects

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2003
Efforts to improve the yield and quality of cultivated chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) are constrained by a low level of intraspecific genetic diversity. Increased genetic diversity can be achieved via the hybridisation of the cultivated species with the unimproved 'wild' relatives from within the 43 species of the Cicer genus.

Morpho-molecular characterization of landraces/wild genotypes of Cicer for Biotic/ Abiotic stresses

LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, 2017
Chickpea is one of the most important pulse crops in the world. However, chickpea productivity is not high enough to fulfill the requirements of an ever-increasing demand. One of the major constraints in the chickpea improvement is the narrow genetic base in the cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) and its sexual incompatibility with other Cicer ...

Preliminary screening and selection for cold tolerance in annual wild Cicer species

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2005
The study was aimed to select cold tolerant accessions of annual wild Cicer species in the highlands in the west Mediterranean area of Turkey. A total of 43 accessions of eight annual wild Cicer species was screened for cold tolerance and compared with the best cold tolerant cultivars, ILC 8262 and FLIP 93-53C.
