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 …

A combination of two approaches, namely QTL analysis and gene enrichment analysis were
used to identify candidate genes in the “QTL-hotspot” region for drought tolerance present …

A “QTL‐hotspot” containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) for several root and drought tolerance
traits was transferred through marker‐assisted backcrossing into JG 11, a leading variety of …

To enhance the marker density in the “QTL-hotspot” region, harboring several QTLs for
drought tolerance-related traits identified on linkage group 04 (CaLG04) in chickpea …

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 …

Key message Analysis of phenotypic data for 20 drought tolerance traits in 1–7 seasons at 1–
5 locations together with genetic mapping data for two mapping populations provided 9 QTL …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a dry season food legume largely grown on residual soil
moisture after the rainy season. The crop often experiences moisture stress towards end of …

The aim of this study was to evaluate a set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) for agronomic
and physiological traits under drought conditions and to locate quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

Terminal drought is one of the major constraints in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), causing
more than 50% production losses. With the objective of accelerating genetic understanding …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crop as a protein source across the
world. It is mostly grown on arid and marginal lands where it faces drought stress at different …
