Abstract:

The combining ability analysis using Line × Tester model was conducted in chickpea to know the general and specific combining ability of the distingushing parents and their crosses, respectively and to select best material for further breeding programme and generation advanceme- nt. Two genetically diverse testers viz., JAKI-9218 and ICCV-2 as females and 8 males viz., HC-5, ICC-506, PKV Harita, Chandrapur Chanoli, JG-62, Gulak-1, AKG-10-1 and Bushy mutant and their 16 crosses along with two checks were evaluated in a Randomized Complete Block Design for seed yield per plant under unprotected condition and pod borer resistance under field conditions. The resistant genotypes had lower percentage of pod borer damage along with higher levels of malic acid contents. The malic acid content had significant and negative association with larval count at vegetative, flowering and pod formation stage in addition to the percentage of pod damage. The parent Gulak-1 was the best general combiner for seed yield per plant; ICC-506 for most of the traits associated with pod borer resistance and ICCV-2 for percent malic acid content. Therefore, these genotypes were considered as the good parental material for utilizing as one of the parents in further breeding programs as donors for the concerned traits. Two crosses viz.,ICCV-2 × Chandrapur Chanoli, JAKI-9218 × ICC-506 evinced significant sca effects in desirable direction at least for one of the traits associated with pod borer resistance along with one of the parents with a high gca effect and a high mean performance for the traits concerned, indicating opportunity for obtaining desirable segregation in further generations. A high heritability in broad sense was observed for all the traits except for larval count at the flowering stage. The non-additive variance was found predominant in inheritance of seed yield and additive variance for most of the traits associated with pod borer resistance. Hence, superior transgressive segregation may be obtained from this material either through biparental mating or diallel selective mating.

GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)

Genetic diversity of 27 chickpea genotypes was studied through Mahalanobis D and Principal Component analysis. The genotypes under study fall into five clusters. The cluster II contained the highest number of genotypes (11) and Cluster I contained the lowest. Cluster I produced the highest mean value for number of pods per plant. The inter cluster distances were much higher than the intra clust...

Root traits confer grain yield advantages under terminal drought in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Chickpea, the second most important legume crop, suffers major yield losses by terminal drought stress (DS). Stronger root system is known to enhance drought yields but this understanding remains controversial. To understand precisely the root traits contribution towards yield, 12 chickpea genotypes with well-known drought response were field evaluated under drought and optimal irrigation. Root...

Response of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to terminal drought: leaf stomatal conductance, pod abscisic acid concentration, and seed set

Flower and pod production and seed set of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) are sensitive to drought stress. A 2-fold range in seed yield was found among a large number of chickpea genotypes grown at three dryland field sites in south-western Australia. Leaf water potential, photosynthetic characteristics, and reproductive development of two chickpea genotypes with contrasting yields in the field w...

genetic engineering for increasing resistance of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) to pod borer (helicoverpa armigera)

pod borer is one of the main factors for yield decrease of chickpea. therefore, breeding of chickpea for resistance to this pest is important. modified cry1ac gene of bacillus thuringiensis in pcry1ac-nptii plasmid containing twin t-dna for cry1ac and nptii genes have been used for transformation of chickpea. at last 38 plants had nptii gene that 36 plants of them had cry1ac gene and two plants...

Expression of a Chimeric Gene Encoding Insecticidal Crystal Protein Cry1Aabc of Bacillus thuringiensis in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Confers Resistance to Gram Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner.)

Domain swapping and generation of chimeric insecticidal crystal protein is an emerging area of insect pest management. The lepidopteran insect pest, gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H.) wreaks havoc to chickpea crop affecting production. Lepidopteran insects were reported to be controlled by Bt (cryI) genes. We designed a plant codon optimized chimeric Bt gene (cry1Aabc) using three domains...
