Tripartite Symbiosis Between Legumes, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Nitrogen Fixing Rhizobia: Interactions and Regulation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3789-3807, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

Altered Expression of an FT Cluster Underlies a Major Locus Controlling Domestication-Related Changes to Chickpea Phenology and Growth Habit

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Flowering time is a key trait in breeding and crop evolution, due to its importance for adaptation to different environments and for yield. In the particular case of chickpea, selection for early phenology was essential for the successful transition of ...

Transgressive segregations for agronomic improvement using interspecific crosses between C. arietinum L. x C. reticulatum Ladiz. and C. arietinum L. x C. echinospermum Davis species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The wild species of chickpea have tremendous potential for enhancing genetic gains of cultigen and have resistant accessions against major biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, two wild annual accessions, one each of C.

New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3824-3836, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Genetic dissection of domestication traits in interspecific chickpea populations

The Plant Genome
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a pulse crop that provides an integral source of nutrition for human consumption. The close wild relatives Cicer reticulatum and Cicer echinospermum harbor untapped genetic diversity that can be exploited by chickpea ...

Progress and Challenges in Faba Bean Genetic Engineering

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes are essential for global food security, serving as a vital source of plant‐based protein and playing a significant role in sustainable agricultural practices. Among legumes, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is noteworthy due to its high‐protein content, broad climate adaptation, and suitability for cultivation in temperate regions.

Bacterial endophytes from wild perennial Cicer confer drought tolerance and induced growth promotion in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

, 2022
Abstract Background and aimsCicer anatolicum and C. oxyodon are the perennial chickpea species found in the Kurdistan region of Iran. They have greater drought tolerance than the most drought tolerant cultivars of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). They have not been examined thus far for endophytic bacteria, which could have potential for promoting ...

FLOWERING LOCUS T Genes MtFTb1 and MtFTb2 Act Redundantly to Promote Flowering Under Long Days in Medicago truncatula

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flowering time is a crucial agronomic trait affecting yield and plant performance in different climates and photoperiods. While the molecular pathways regulating photoperiodic flowering are well‐characterized in Arabidopsis and cereals, they remain poorly understood in many other groups of plants.

A Multiple QTL-Seq Strategy Delineates Potential Genomic Loci Governing Flowering Time in Chickpea

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Identification of functionally relevant potential genomic loci using an economical, simpler and user-friendly genomics-assisted breeding strategy is vital for rapid genetic dissection of complex flowering time quantitative trait in chickpea.

Freezing tolerance of chickpea: biochemical and molecular changes at vegetative stage

Biologia Plantarum, 2018
The aim of this study was to find a correlation between the freezing tolerance of three chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars (İnci, Işik-05, and Sari-98) and their wild relative C. echinospermum and physiological responses.
