Evaluation of annual wild Cicer species for drought and heat resistance under field conditions
Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2009 About 90% of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in the world is grown under rainfed conditions where it is subjected to drought and heat stress. Unlike the cultivated chickpea, annual wild Cicer species possess sources of resistance to multiple stress; annual

Wild and Domestic Differences in Plant Development and Responses to Water Deficit in Cicer [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 There is growing interest in widening the genetic diversity of domestic crops using wild relatives to break linkage drag and/or introduce new adaptive traits, particularly in narrow crops such as chickpea.

Characterization in F1 generation of Kabuli, Desi and wild Cicer genotypes for plant traits
Genetika, 2023 It is important to understand the magnitude of the changes in variation created by the crossbreeding of cultivated chickpea varieties with a narrow genetic base, desi and kabuli types, and C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum, which are closely related

Genome Size and Seed Mass Analyses in Cicer arietinum (Chickpea) and Wild Cicer Species [PDF]
HortScience, 2015 The genome size of cultivated Cicer arietinum and 12 wild Cicer sp. including seven annual and five perennial species were analyzed using flow cytometry. A significant 2C genome size variation was observed among the Cicer sp.
