Molecular mapping of QTLs for heat tolerance in chickpea
The present study aimed to identify QTLs associated with heat tolerance in chickpea using 292 F8-9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross ICC 4567 (heat sensitive) × ICC 15614 (heat tolerant).

Capturing genetic variability and selection of traits for heat tolerance in a chickpea recombinant inbred line (RIL) population under field conditions
To assess the genetic variability and identify heat responsive traits in chickpea, a set of 296 F8–9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of the cross ICC 4567 (heat sensitive) × ICC 15614 (heat tolerant) was evaluated under field conditions at ICRISAT, Patancheru, India.

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.
