Drought Stress Impacts on Plants and Different Approaches to Alleviate Its Adverse Effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have discussed the sophisticated adaptation mechanisms and regularity network that improves the water stress tolerance and adaptation in plants, including growth pattern and structural dynamics, reduction in transpiration loss through altering stomatal conductance and distribution, leaf rolling, root-to-shoot ratio dynamics, root length increment, accumulation of compatible solutes, enhancement of transpiration efficiency, osmotic and hormonal regulation, and delayed senescence.

Marker-assisted backcrossing to introgress resistance to fusarium wilt race 1 and ascochyta blight in C 214, an elite cultivar of chickpea

TL;DR: Two parallel marker‐assisted backcrossing programs by targeting foc1 locus and two quantitative trait loci regions, ABQTL‐I and ABQ TL‐II, were undertaken to introgress resistance to FW and AB, respectively, in C 214, an elite cultivar of chickpea.

Mapping QTL Associated with Traits Affecting Grain Yield in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under Terminal Drought Stress

TL;DR: Quantitative trait locus analysis identified 15 genomic regions significantly associated with various traits affecting drought tolerance in chickpea that can be further explored in future drought studies.

TILLING for allergen reduction and improvement of quality traits in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.).

TL;DR: Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes (TILLING), a reverse-genetics approach, was used to identify mutations affecting seed traits in peanut, and could be used to modify other traits such as nutritional properties of the seed, as shown in this study.

Validation of a QTL for resistance to ascochyta blight linked to resistance to fusarium wilt race 5 in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

TL;DR: An intraspecific chickpea recombinant inbred lines (RIL) population that segregates for resistance to both diseases was studied and markers linked to both loci could facilitate the pyramiding of resistance genes for both diseases through MAS.

Markers associated with Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea and their potential in marker-assisted selection

TL;DR: This result suggests that the QTL for resistance to blight would be close to OPAC04/1200 and it is proposed to use this marker jointly with two others (OPAI09/1276 and OPM02/935) that flank it in MAS.
