The title compound, C(13)H(14)N(2)O(2), is a natural product isolated from Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea). The benzene ring and pyrrole rings display planar conformations and the piperidine ring has a half-chair conformation. Inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between a methyl H atom and the pyrrole ring of an adjacent mol-ecule are present in the crystal structure.

We report the complete genome sequence of Mesorhizobium ciceri strain CC1192, an efficient nitrogen-fixing microsymbiont of Cicer arietinum (chickpea). The genome consists of 6.94 Mb distributed between a single chromosome (6.29 Mb) and a plasmid (0.65 Mb).

Domesticated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and its wild relative C. judaicum grow in sympatric distribution in Israel and both are susceptible to Ascochyta blight caused by Didymella rabiei. C. arietinum was grown for millennia in drier and hotter Levantine spring conditions while C. judaicum grows in the wetter and milder winters. Accordingly, it is possible that D. rabiei isolates originated fro...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important crop legume plant with high nutritional value. The transcriptomes of desi and wild chickpea have already been sequenced. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptome of kabuli chickpea, C. arietinum (genotype ICCV2), having higher commercial value, using GS-FLX Roche 454 and Illumina technologies. The assemblies of both Roche 454 and Illumina datas...

Cicer reticulatum L. is the wild progenitor of the fourth most important legume crop chickpea (C. arietinum L.). We assembled short-read sequences into 416 Mb draft genome of C. reticulatum and anchored 78% (327 Mb) of this assembly to eight linkage groups. Genome annotation predicted 25,680 protein-coding genes covering more than 90% of predicted gene space. The genome assembly shared a substa...

Investigating the germination characteristics of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in response to titanium dioxide nanoparticles priming and drought stress

Inflammation is the natural body defense mechanism for the removal of injurious agents, necrosed cells and tissues from the body. This study was aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and platelet aggregation effects of three medicinal plants of Pakistan. Methanolic extract of garden pea inhibited arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation (IC50 = 35 microg/mL) and platelet activating ...

Crude protein extracts from the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L .) pathogenic fungus Ascochyta rabiei catalyze the N A D PH dependent conversion of the pterocarpan phytoalexins medicarpin and maackiain to 1) 2'-hydroxyisoflavans, 2) 1 a-hydroxypterocarp-l,4-diene-3-one, and 3) 10,2'dihydroxyisoflav-8-ene-7-one derivatives. A pterocarpan: N A D PH oxidoreductase which cleaves the benzylphenyl ether ...

Phenotypic characteristics of fifty-six rhizobia strains isolated from root nodules of two chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars, growing in soils collected from different areas of Morocco, were studied. Tolerance to salinity, high temperatures, acid and alkaline pHs, heavy metals and to antibiotics as well as symbiotic and cultural characteristics allowed the description of a wide physiologi...
