Chickpeas are a globally crucial agricultural product, currently at risk due to human-induced climate change. There has been little research into the impact of heat stress on chickpea compared other crops, but it is known that can cause up 100% yield loss. This study measures Growing Degree Days (GDD) in chickpeas, utilizing an existing calculation. formula expanded for stress, titled Stress (SDD), examine effects high temperature commercially important traits such as and seed size. Using...
Chickpeas are a vital source of protein and starch for large portion the world's population known to be impacted by heat stress at every life stage. Previously as an "Orphan Legume", little is genetic control tolerance, most previous research has focused on avoidance rather than tolerance. This study utilised 148 chickpea genotypes, primarily Kabulis, in 12 field trials conducted 2 locations, two sowing periods, across 3 years. Physiology was examined, data paired with Diversity Arrays...
The appearance of blotch/ tiger stripe on chickpea seeds is a genotype-specific seed marking which, although not considered defect during inspection, often rejected based consumer trait preferences. This study aimed to investigate the expression blotch/tiger stripe, thousand grain weight (TGW) and days podding in Australian desi-type chickpea. A single seed-descent mapping population 242 F7 derived progeny lines was selected from controlled cross two homozygous parent genotypes, PBA Slasher...
