Aluminum (Al) toxicity poses a significant challenge for the yield improvement of chickpea, which is an economically important legume crop with high nutritional value in human diets. The genetic basis of Al-tolerance in chickpea remains unclear. Here, we

The wild Cicer species is well-known for having climate-resilient and productivity-enhancing traits of interest. Therefore, wide hybridization could be used as a realistic strategy for introgressing prospective traits from wild species into the ...

Exploitation of Wild Cicer reticulatum Germplasm for Resistance to Helicoverpa armigera [PDF]
In the absence of high levels of resistance to Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) in the cultivated germplasm of chickpea, we evaluated accessions of Cicer spp. mostly Cicer reticulatum Ladzinsky, for resistance to this important pest. Under multichoice conditions in the field, 10 accessions showed lower leaf damage and lower numbers of eggs, larvae, or ...

Cicer turcicum: A New Cicer Species and Its Potential to Improve Chickpea
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]
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 ...

Identification of Sources of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Resistance in a Collection of Wild Cicer Germplasm [PDF]
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an important fungal pathogen of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), and it can cause yield losses up to 100%. The wild progenitors are much more diverse than domesticated chickpea, and this study describes how this relates to S. sclerotiorum resistance. Initially, the pathogenicity of nine Australian S. sclerotiorum isolates was

Phenylpropanoid Content of Chickpea Seed Coats in Relation to Seed Dormancy
The physical dormancy of seeds is likely to be mediated by the chemical composition and the thickness of the seed coat. Here, we investigate the link between the content of phenylpropanoids (i.e., phenolics and flavonoids) present in the chickpea seed ...

Cyclophilin A-mediated cis/trans isomerization modulates RIN4 to control intracellular rhizobial infection in legumes. [PDF]
Summary In most legume‐rhizobium symbioses, rhizobial colonization occurs through host‐derived intracellular infection threads, which enable rhizobial recruitment while presumably modulating the host immune system to prevent rejection. To investigate post‐translational regulation of immune responses during rhizobial infection, we focused on Cyclophilin

Variation of Cicer Germplasm to Manganese Toxicity Tolerance
After aluminum, manganese toxicity is the most limiting factor for crops grown in acidic soils worldwide. But overall, research on Mn toxicity is still limited.
