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.

iPBS-Retrotransposons-based genetic diversity and relationship among wild annual Cicer species
Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2012 Lack of requisite genetic variation in cultivated species has necessitated systematic collection, documentation and evaluation of wild Cicer species for use in chickpea variety improvement programs. Cicer arietinum has very narrow genetic variation, and the use of a wild relative in chickpea breeding could provide a good opportunity for increasing the ...

Transcriptomic Analysis of Flowering Time Genes in Cultivated Chickpea and Wild Cicer. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 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. In this study, we acquire high-throughput transcriptome sequencing data and analyze changes in gene expression during floral transition in the early flowering cultivar ICCV 96029,

Evaluation of annual wild Cicer species for drought and heat resistance under field conditions
Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2008 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 Cicer species were therefore evaluated for resistance to drought and heat stress. Eight annual

PLoS ONE, 2015 There is a debate concerning mono- or poly-phyletic origins of the Near Eastern crops. In parallel, some authors claim that domestication was not possible within the natural range of the wild progenitors due to wild alleles flow into the nascent crops ...

Ecogeography of Annual Wild Cicer Species [PDF]
Crop Science, 2003 The annual wild Cicer species are becoming increasingly important to the cultigen (Cicer arietinum L.) as a source of genetic diversity, and resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. The objectives of this study were to consolidate and review the current status of the world collection of annual wild Cicer species and the closely related perennial,

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. The 2C genome size ranged from 1.00 pg in wild species, Cicer judaicum, to 1.76 pg in cultivated species, C. arietinum. The wild

Cicer turcicum: A New Cicer Species and Its Potential to Improve Chickpea
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Genetic resources of the genus Cicer L. are not only limited when compared to other important food legumes and major cereal crops but also, they include several endemic species with endangered status based on the criteria of the International Union for ...

Exploring the molecular basis of resistance to Botrytis cinerea in chickpea genotypes through biochemical and morphological markers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important pulse crop around the globe and a valuable source of protein in the human diet. However, it is highly susceptible to various plant pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses, which can cause significant ...
