InDel markers: An extended marker resource for molecular breeding in chickpea
Chickpea is one of the most important food legumes that holds the key to meet rising global food and nutritional demand. In order to deploy molecular breeding approaches in crop improvement programs, user friendly and cost effective marker resources remain prerequisite. This study aims to expand marker resources for genomics assisted breeding (GAB) in chickpea.
Development and evaluation of high-density SNP array (Axiom®CicerSNP Array) for high resolution genetic mapping and breeding applications in chickpea
Screening of whole-genome resequencing data from 429 chickpea lines using the high throughput SNP genotyping platform ‘Axiom® CicerSNP Array’ identified 4.9 million SNPs, from which a subset of 70,463 high-quality nonredundant SNPs was selected using different stringent filter criteria.
Genetic imprints of domestication for disease resistance, oil quality, and yield component traits in groundnut
This article analyses how the difference in ploidy between the wild groundnut species, Arachis, and cultivated genotypes hinder the transfer of useful alleles for agronomically important traits.
QTL-seq for Rapid Identification of Candidate Genes for 100-seed Weight and root/total Plant Dry Weight Ratio Under Rainfed Conditions in Chickpea
Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. In this article, QTL-seq approach was used to identify candidate genomic regions for 100-seed weight (100SDW) and total dry root weight to total plant dry weight ratio (RTR) under rainfed conditions.
Emerging genomic tools for legume breeding: Current status and future prospects
An overview of emerging genomics and informatics tools/approaches that will be the key driving force for accelerating genomics-assisted breeding of legumes, ultimately ensuring nutritional and food security in developing countries.
