Summary The adaptability and productivity of cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil, pea) are limited by major abiotic stresses including drought, heat, frost, chilling, waterlogging, salinity and mineral toxicities. The severity of these stresses is unpredictable in field experiments, so field trials are increasingly supplemented with controlled-environment testing and physiological...
Summary Necrotrophic pathogens of the cool season food legumes (pea, lentil, chickpea, faba bean and lupin) cause wide spread disease and severe crop losses throughout the world. Environmental conditions play an important role in the development and spread of these diseases. Form of inoculum, inoculum concentration and physiological plant growth stage all affect the degree of infection and the amount...
Summary In this paper we review the existence of sources of resistance and the various available screening methods for resistance in grain legumes against the airborne pathogens powdery mildews, downy mildews and rusts. Available resistance against these pathogens is not abundant and is particularly in risk of erosion owing to the constant generation and introduction of new races of the pathogen....
Summary Seed size as determined by seed weight, is an important trait for trade and component of yield and adaptation in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Inheritance of seed size in chickpea was studied in a cross between ICC11255, a normal seed size parent (average 120 mg seed−1) and ICC 5002, a small seed size parent (average 50 mg seed−1). Seed weight observations on individual plants of parents,...
Summary A linkage map in a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from an interspecific cross between Cicer arietinum (ILC72) × Cicer reticulatum (Cr5-10), resistant and susceptible to blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei, respectively, was obtained using RAPD, ISSR, STMS, isozyme (Pdf6) and flower colour (pink/white) markers. The map comprised ten linkage groups and covered a distance...
Gene flow via outcrossing from transgenic plants to relatives will be one of the most important concerns to grow of the transgenic chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in European Union (EU). This report is therefore focused on spontaneous outcrossing rate in chickpea. A total of 39 kabuli type mutants with white flower and one desi type with pink flower were grown to estimate spontaneous outcrossing rate...
Genetic analysis of ten quantitative traits related to crop duration in chickpea was carried out using three F2 sib-populations; 272-2 × CDC Anna, 298T-9 × CDC Anna and 298T-9 × CDC Frontier. F3 and F4 families from these populations were further evaluated for traits found important in the initial study. Also, 112 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of chickpea cross ICCV 2 × JG 62 were evaluated for...
