The necrotrophic fungus Ascochyta rabiei causes Ascochyta blight (AB) disease in chickpea.
A. rabiei infects all aerial parts of the plant, which results in severe yield loss. At present, AB …

Many newly created early maturing varieties exhibit poor stress resistance and low yield,
whereas stress-resistant varieties are typically late maturing. For this reason, the …

Pigeonpea, a tropical photosensitive crop, harbors significant diversity for days to flowering,
but little is known about the genes that govern these differences. Our goal in the current …

Whole‐genome sequencing‐based bulked segregant analysis (BSA) for mapping
quantitative trait loci (QTL) provides an efficient alternative approach to conventional QTL …

Chickpea is an important legume crop, providing a protein rich diet for humans and animal
feed. Globally, chickpea is grown in over 56 countries, occupying a production area of …

In climates that experience short growing seasons due to drought, heat, or end-of-season
frost, early flowering is a highly desirable trait for chickpea (Cicer arietinum). In this study, we …

Flowering time is an important trait for adaptation and productivity of chickpea in the arid and
the semi-arid environments. This study was conducted for molecular mapping of …

The development of efficient photocatalysts to produce hydrogen from water is of great
interest, both for reducing dependence on fossil fuels and for a clean environment. In this …

Key message A high-density linkage map of chickpea using 3430 SNPs was constructed
and used to identify QTLs and candidate genes for ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea …

The molecular mechanism involved in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) resistance to the
necrotrophic fungal pathogen Ascochyta rabiei is not well documented. A. rabiei infection …
