Signature of the Co-supervisor Signature of the Supervisor (Rajeev Kumar Varshney) (Mangla Bhide) Forwarded Signature of Head of the Department ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Endless compassion of Almighty turns my difficult task to a feeling of pleasant journey of my life. Emotions cannot be adequately expressed in words because emotions are transformed into a mere formality. Hence, my acknowledgements are many times more than what I am expressing here. I bow my head before my parents whose hardships, patience and perseverance today I stand has kept me going at all hard times. I have received a lot of ad-hoc response from many generous grandees in many quarters to those pain stacking days encompassing the research work. I wish to vow my genuflexion with deep sense of gratitude to my co-supervisor Dr. Rajeev Kumar Varshney, Director-Centre of Excellence in Genomics, Applied genomics,ICRISAT and Leader Theme 1- Comparative and Applied Genomics, Generation Challenge Programme, for his conscientious guidance, gracious, cordial and meticulous explications and encapsilative remarks towards the representation of this dissertation. His valuable suggestions brought a panacea for me dealing with this research work. I can truly say that whatever he has done for me is not possible for every advisor to do for his advisee. At this stage I feel pleasure to express my profound regards, indebtness and gratitude to my supervisor Dr (Prof) Mangla Bhide, , Prof. & Head, Chairperson BOS, Department of Zoology, School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar (M.P.) for her expedient advice, debonair discussion, innovative ideas, abiding interest and invaluable support during this tenure of research work. A depth of gratitude is owed to Dr. William Dollente Dar, Director General and Dr. Dave Hoisington, Deputy Director General of the ICRISAT for giving me opportunity to work in one of the best labs of International standards. With respect, regards and immense pleasure, I wish to acknowledge and express sincere thanks from my heart to several scientists including Dr. Trushar Shah, Dr. Abhishek Rathore, Dr. Vivek Thakur, Dr. T Mahendar for the valuable suggestions. I render special thanks Dr. RR Mir, Visiting Scientist and Dr. Himabindu Kudupa for their help in finalizing the thesis. I feel immense pleasure to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Junichi Kashiwagi and Dr. L Krishnamurthy, Chcikpea Breeding for their help in conducting the research trials at Patancheru and Dr. H D Upadhyaya and Dr. P M Gaur for providing the genetic material used in the present study. With immense pleasure, I express my cordial thanks to Mrs. Seetha Kannan, Mrs. Manjula B, Mrs B Poornima Reddy, Mr. Prasad KDV, Mr. Murali Krishna Y and Mr. B Anjaiah, for their administrative help. It is my immense pleasure to render sincere regards to Mr. K Eshwar and Mr. G Somaraju for teaching me the laboratory techniques at the beginning of the research work.Words are less to express my gratitude to Mr. A Gafoor, Mr. R Samantula, Mr. T Veerendar from Applied Genomics Laboratory, ICRISAT for providing technical help. I place on record my heartfelt thanks to all my labmates and friends especially Abhishek, Anuja, Ashish, Preeti, Sarwer, Spurthi, Manish Pandey, Pavana, Lekha, Kim, Deepa, Monisha, Ramesh, Mayank, Gautmi, Swathi, P. Swathi, Gnanesh, Rachit, Usha, Manish Roorkiwal, Prasad KVSS, Yogendra, Ashutosh, Bhanuprakash, Reetu, Prasad, Pradeep. I also thank all the friends and staff at Department, School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar (M.P.) for their kind help and co-operation. Assistance rendered by the members of Central Support Lab, Library and Learning System Unit at ICRISAT is gratefully acknowledged. Words would fail to express the depth of my feelings for my strength, my husband Manish for his all time support, constant encouragement, affectionate love and for always being there for me. I feel indebted to my grandparent in-law Mr. Om Prakash Verma for his constant support and encouragement throughout the tenure of research work. I seize the opportunity to express my heartiest sense of reverence, respect and affection to my parents Dr. S.C. Gujaria and Mrs.Vimla Gujaria, whose unending love, care, subdued spirit of co-operation, and timely encouragement throughout my research work and their support at every crucial moment of my life.

In first approach, Solexa 1 Gb was carried out on pooled RNA from all drought challenged root tissues of genotypes ICC 4958 and ICC 1882. 15.6 and 22.1 million reads were generated and aligned against chickpea transcriptome assembly. A total of 26,082 SNPs were identified between these two genotypes. In second approach for SNP discovery through allele re-sequencing, primer pairs were designed for 970 genes/ expressed sequence tags (ESTs)
