Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the world’s second most important grain legume after common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Ethiopia considered as a secondary center of genetic diversity for chickpea.

The effects of temperature and inoculum density of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris race 5 on suppression of Fusarium wilt in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) cv. PV 61 by seed and soil treatments with rhizobacteria isolated from the chickpea rhizosphere were studied in a model system. Disease development over a range of temperatures (20, 25, and 30 degrees C) and inoculum densities (25 to 1,000 chl...

LAZZARO, M. D., and THOMSON, W. W. 1989. Ultrastructure of organic acid secreting trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Can. J. Bot. 67: 2669-2677. The acid-secreting trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were composed of 18 cells, including 1 basal cell, 3 elongate stalk cells, and 14 head cells. A subcuticular secretion chamber with cuticular pores was present above the head cells at ...

One hundred twenty six Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) derived from a cross ICCV-2 x JG 62 along with six checks were evaluated to study the genetic divergence. Mahalonobis (1936) D statistic analysis was used for assessing the genetic divergence among the RIL’s involving phenological and yield component traits. The 132 genotypes formed 15 clusters and out of which 8 clusters were solitary sugg...

expressed sequence tags simple sequence repeats (est-ssrs) are important sources for investigation ofgenetic diversity and molecular marker development. similar to genomic ssrs, the est-ssrs are usefulmarkers for many applications in genetics and plant breeding such as genetic diversity analysis, molecularmapping and cross-transferability across related species and genera. in spite of low polym...

Environmental factors (biotic and abiotic) are major depletion reasons in granaries. Fungi insect pests act synergistically deterioration of grains storages which results nutritional damage to the stored food becomes unpalatable for consumer. There is a need establish timeline synergistic caused by mycotoxigenic fungi better management. For this purpose, interaction (Aspergillus flavus, Aspergi...

The present investigation entitled “Role of osmolytes in maintaining water balance and photosynthesis under drought heat chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)” was conducted at Research Farm & labolatory Department Plant Physiology (Division Basic Science), Indian Institute Pulses (IIPR), Kalyanpur, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. During the rabi season 2015-16.The L.) various physiological traits which are ess...

Abstract The chickpea, Cicer arietinum L. (Fabales: Fabaceae), seeds are vulnerable, both in the field and in storage, to attack by seed-beetles. Beetles of the genus Callosobruchus are major storage pests of chickpea crops and cause considerable economic losses. In the present study, a total of 11 chickpea genotypes including five 'kabuli' (Mexican white, Diyar, CA 2969, ILC 8617 and ACC 245) ...
