Abstract Identifying potential molecular tags for drought tolerance is essential achieving higher crop productivity under stress. We employed an integrated genomics-assisted breeding and functional genomics strategy involving association mapping, fine map-based cloning, haplotyping transcript profiling in the introgression lines (ILs)- near isogenic (NILs)-based panel mapping population of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). This combinatorial approach delineated a bHLH (basic helix–loop–helix)...
ABSTRACT In the wake of rising earth temperature, chickpea crop production is haunted by productivity crisis. Chickpea, a cool season legume manifests tolerance in several agro‐physiological level, which complex quantitative nature, and regulated multiple genes genetic networks. Understanding molecular basis this identifying key regulators can leverage breeding against heat stress. This study employed genomics‐assisted strategy utilizing multi‐locus GWAS to identify 10 genomic regions linked...
Plant height (PH) is an important plant architectural trait targeted during Green Revolution to enhance crop yields. Identification of genes and natural alleles governing without compromising agronomic performance can fill the lacuna knowledge connecting ideal architecture with maximum achievable yield in chickpea. Through coherent strategy involving genome-wide association study, QTL/fine mapping, map-based cloning, molecular haplotyping, downstream functional genomics, current study...

SUMMARY Seed color is one of the key target traits domestication and artificial selection in chickpeas due to its implications on consumer preference market value. The complex seed trait has been well dissected several crop species; however, genetic mechanism underlying variation chickpea remains poorly understood. Here, we employed an integrated genomics strategy involving QTL mapping, high‐density map‐based cloning, association analysis, molecular haplotyping inter‐specific RIL mapping...
Abstract Chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) is a cool season grain legume experiencing severe yield loss during heat stress due to the intensifying climate changes and its associated gradual increase of mean temperature. Hence, understanding genetic architecture regulating tolerance has emerged as an important trait be addressed for enhancing productivity chickpea under stress. The present study intended identify major genomic region governing in chickpea. For this, integrated genomics-assisted...
Abstract Genetic diversity and environmental factors are long believed to be the dominant contributors phenotypic in crop plants. However, it has been recently established that, besides genetic variation, epigenetic especially variation DNA methylation, plays a significant role determining Therefore, assessing methylation plants becomes vital, case of crops like chickpea, which narrow base. Thus, present study, we employed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing assess wild cultivated (desi...
