Salt stress is an ever-present threat to crop yields, especially in countries with irrigated
agriculture. Efforts to improve salt tolerance in crop plants are vital for sustainable crop …

Climate change affects agricultural productivity worldwide. Increased prices of food
commodities are the initial indication of drastic edible yield loss, which is expected to …

Chickpea is one of the most important pulse crops worldwide, being an excellent source of
protein. It is grown under rain-fed conditions averaging yields of 1 t/ha, far from its potential …

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by …

Advances in next-generation sequencing and genoty** technologies have enabled
generation of large-scale genomic resources such as molecular markers, transcript reads …

Drought and salinity are the major factors that limit chickpea production worldwide. We
performed whole transcriptome analyses of chickpea genotypes to investigate the molecular …

Soil salinity is one of the most limiting stresses for crop productivity and quality worldwide. In
this sense, jasmonates (JAs) have emerged as phytohormones that play essential roles in …

The timing of flowering, and in particular the degree to which it is responsive to the
environment, is a key factor in the adaptation of a given species to various eco-geographic …

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 …

To understand the genetic basis of tolerance to drought and heat stresses in chickpea, a
comprehensive association map** approach has been undertaken. Phenotypic data were …
