Pulses are the main source of protein and minerals in the vegetarian diet. These are
primarily cultivated on marginal lands with few inputs in several resource-poor countries of …

Background To efficiently protect and exploit germplasm resources for marker development
and breeding purposes, we must accurately depict the features of the tea populations. This …

Modern crop breeding is based on the use of genetically and phenotypically diverse plant
material and, consequently, a proper understanding of population structure and genetic …

Characterization of genetic diversity, population structure, and linkage disequilibrium is a
prerequisite for proper management of breeding programs and conservation of genetic …

Understanding the genetic basis of photosynthetic efficiency (PE) contributing to enhanced
seed yield per plant (SYP) is vital for genomics‐assisted crop improvement of chickpea. The …

Domestication and subsequent breeding have eroded genetic diversity in the modern
chickpea crop by˜ 100-fold. Corresponding reductions to trait variation create the need, and …

The identification of functionally relevant molecular tags is vital for genomics-assisted crop
improvement and enhancement of seed yield, quality, and productivity in chickpea (Cicer …

Key message A combinatorial genomic strategy delineated functionally relevant natural
allele of a CLAVATA gene and its marker (haplotype)-assisted introgression led to …

Chickpea is the second most important and ancient pulse crop with its use in human diet for
approximately 7500 years as one of the Neolithic founder crops. Previous studies on …

Improvement of the quality and quantity of chickpea seed protein can be greatly facilitated by
an understanding of the genic organization and the genetic architecture of the genes …
