Integrated and Sustainable Management of Fungal Diseases of Chickpea: Current Status and Challenges

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated and sustainable management of major fungal diseases of chickpea is discussed in this book chapter. But, the authors do not discuss the impact of these diseases on the quality of the harvested chickpeas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Designing chickpea for a hotter drier world

TL;DR: In this article , the authors review the physiological traits known to confer drought and heat adaptation in chickpea and identify areas of research that may be prioritised in the future, highlighting the significant challenges and importance of understanding the nexus between canopy and root development.

Genome-wide association analysis to delineate high-quality SNPs for seed micronutrient density in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

TL;DR: In this article , a diverse core set of 147 chickpea genotypes was genotyped with a Axiom(®)50K CicerSNP array and trait phenotyped in two different environments for four seed micronutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn).

Nuclear DNA content of some important plant species

TL;DR: This survey identified several horticultural crops in a variety of families with genomes only two or three times as large asArabidopsis and several fruit trees (a pricot, cherry, mango, orange, papaya, and peach) that should facilitate molecular studies of these crops.

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.

Sanwen Huang, +95 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo, and identifies 686 gene clusters related to phloem function.
