Main conclusion The entire process of embryo development is under the tight control of
various transcription factors. Together with other proteins, they act in a combinatorial manner …

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 …

Genetic resources of the genus Cicer L. are not only limited when compared to other
important food legumes and major cereal crops but also, they include several endemic …

Seed development is a complex period of the flowering plant life cycle. After fertilization, the
three main regions of the seed, embryo, endosperm and seed coat, undergo a series of …

Drought is the most important constraint that effects chickpea production globally. RNA-Seq
has great potential to dissect the molecular mechanisms of tolerance to environmental …

Background Crocus sativus stigmas form rich source of apocarotenoids like crocin,

Plant-parasitic nematodes constrain chickpea (Cicer arietinum) production, with annual yield
losses estimated to be 14% of total global production. Nematode species causing significant …

In addition to proteins and/or oils, mature seeds of most legume crops contain important
carbohydrate components, including starches and sugars. Starch is also an essential …

Identification of potential genes/alleles governing complex seed-protein content (SPC) is
essential in marker-assisted breeding for quality trait improvement of chickpea. Henceforth …
