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.

Identification of two RAPD markers genetically linked to a recessive allele of a Fusarium wilt resistance gene in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.)

TL;DR: An attempt was made to identify RAPD markers associated with wilt phenotype by using F2 populations derived from contrasting parents, and it was possible to deduce genotype of every F2 plant and the genotypic ratio for wilt reaction was 1RR: 2Rr: 1rr, as expected.

EST-derived genic molecular markers: development and utilization for generating an advanced transcript map of chickpea.

TL;DR: Well-saturated linkage maps especially those based on expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived genic molecular markers (GMMs) are a pre-requisite for molecular breeding in important legumes such as chickpea where few simple sequence repeats (SSR) and even fewer GMM-based maps have been developed.

Genomic tools and germplasm diversity for chickpea improvement

TL;DR: Advent of the next generation sequencing technologies coupled with advances in bioinformatics offers the possibility of undertaking large-scale sequencing of germplasm accessions so that modern breeding approaches such as genomic selection and breeding by design can be realized in near future for chickpea improvement.

The role of abscisic acid and low temperature in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) cold tolerance. II. Effects on plasma membrane structure and function

TL;DR: Both pre-exposure to low, non-freezing temperatures and pre-treatment with ABA induced measurable changes in membrane fluidity, but these changes did not correlate with changes in LT50, suggesting that physical properties of the plasma membrane other than fluidity are involved in frost acclimation in chickpea.

Development of a PCR-Based Molecular Marker to Select for Nematode Resistance in Peanut

TL;DR: Plant breeders will be able to use this new marker to hasten efforts to combine nematode resistance with other important characteristics in peanuts, using a cost-effective, high-throughput DNA extraction method.
