Understanding genetic diversity, association studies, evolution analysis, quantitative trait
loci, marker-assisted selection and genome-wide association in tropical crops are important …

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 …

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 …

Cicer arietinum L.(chickpea) is the third most important food legume crop. We have
generated the draft sequence of a desi‐type chickpea genome using next‐generation …

Yield stability of legume crops is constrained by a number of pest and diseases. Major
diseases are rusts, powdery and downy mildews, ascochyta blights, botrytis gray molds …

Semi‐arid and subhumid West Africa is characterized by high inter‐annual rainfall
variability, with variable onset of the rainy season, somewhat more predictable endings, and …

A rapid high-resolution genome-wide strategy for molecular mapping of major QTL (s)/gene
(s) regulating important agronomic traits is vital for in-depth dissection of complex …

This study reports the use of Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) for large-scale SNP
discovery and simultaneous genotyping of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of an intra …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important pulse legume crop. We previously reported a
draft genome assembly of the desi chickpea cultivar ICC 4958. Here we report an advanced …

The SNP-based high-resolution QTL mapping mapped eight major genomic regions
harbouring robust QTLs governing seed-Fe and Zn concentrations (39.4% combined …
