Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

Cicer arietinum L. is the third greatest widely planted imperative pulse crop worldwide, and it
belongs to the Leguminosae family. Drought is the utmost common abiotic factor on plants …

Chickpea is an important leguminous crop with potential to provide dietary proteins to both
humans and animals. It also ameliorates soil nitrogen through biological nitrogen fixation …

Food safety has emerged as a high-urgency matter for sustainable agricultural production.
Toxic metal contamination of soil and water significantly affects agricultural productivity …

With an aim of enhancing drought tolerance using a marker‐assisted backcrossing (MABC)
approach, we introgressed the “QTL‐hotspot” region from ICC 4958 accession that harbors …

Today's increasingly unequal and resource intensive development model degrades and
surpasses Earth's finite capacity to sustain human well-being. Society must restore this …

Chickpea is one of the most important pulse crops worldwide, being an excellent source of
protein. It is grown under rain-fed conditions averaging yields of 1 t/ha, far from its potential …

Abstract 'QTL-hotspot'is a genomic region on linkage group 04 (CaLG04) in chickpea (Cicer
arietinum) that harbours major-effect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for multiple drought …

Nutrient deficiency has resulted in impaired growth and development of the population
globally. Microgreens are considered immature greens (required light for photosynthesis …

More than half of the calories consumed by humans are provided by three major cereal
crops (rice, maize, and wheat). Orphan crops are usually well adapted to low-input …
