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 …

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 …

Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. Two component traits
responsible for reduction in yield under drought stress include reduction in seeds size and …

Legume crops such as chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, mostly grown in marginal
environments, are the major source of nutrition and protein to the human population in Asia …

Xylem vascular wilt pathogens cause devastating diseases in plants. Proliferation of these
pathogens in the xylem causes massive disruption of water and mineral transport, resulting …

Fusarium wilt (FW) and Ascochyta blight (AB) are two major constraints to chickpea (Cicer
arietinum L.) production. Therefore, two parallel marker‐assisted backcrossing (MABC) …

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

Plant diseases pose a severe threat to the food security of the global human population. One
such disease is Fusarium wilt, which affects many plant species and causes up to 100 …

Chickpea is one of the world's largest cultivated food legumes and is an excellent source of
high‐quality protein to the human diet. Plant growth and development are controlled by …

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