A poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) with mol wt 29,000 has been purified from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) epicotyl by ammonium sulfate fractionation and Cibacron blue F3-GA chromatography, making a complex with poly(A) and elution of PABP-poly(A) complex at 45 degrees C from oligo d(T)-cellulose. The elution pattern and binding properties show that the purified protein is different from the PABP (m...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important pulse crop grown and consumed all over the world, especially in the Afro-Asian countries. It is a good source of carbohydrates and protein, and protein quality is considered to be better than other pulses. Chickpea has significant amounts of all the essential amino acids except sulphur-containing amino acids, which can be complemented by adding cere...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important food legume crop, particularly for the arid regions including Indian subcontinent. Considering the detrimental effect of drought, temperature and salt stress on crop yield, efforts have been initiated in the direction of developing improved varieties and designing alternate strategies to sustain chickpea production in adverse environmental condition...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) one the important Rabi season legume crops ranked third after common bean and field pea. For better yield improvement in chickpea, trait variability, genetic relationship diversity need to be known for possible improvement. Basing on this, present investigation was carried out know effect of various traits yield. The experimental material comprised four elite chick...

lorestan and khorramabad province has major share in chickpea production region are the one of the largest producer of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) in iran, chickpea with more cultivation area compare to the other plants, to estimate the chickpea water requirement. the aim of this research was to determine the crop coefficients of chickpea in a research field in lorestan agriculture faculty in...

Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster are the best tools to measure degree of divergence suggest parents for future crop improvement programmes. A study was done using 64 chickpea genotypes including desi kabuli types provided from RARS, Nandyal. Research conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla during Rabi 2021-22 in 8×8 square lattice design. Data collected 13 quantitat...

Photoperiod is one of the major environmental factors determining time to flower initiation and first flower appearance in plants. In chickpea, photoperiod sensitivity, expressed as delayed to flower under short days (SD) as compared to long days (LD), may change with the growth stage of the crop. Photoperiod-sensitive and -insensitive phases were identified by experiments in which individual p...
