INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Description contributes to the sustainability of cropping systems in the cereal-legume crop rotations. Chickpea crop Chickpea, Cicer arietinum L. belongs to the meets 80% of its nitrogen (N) requirement from family Fabaceae, within the tribe Cicerae. It is symbiotic nitrogen fixation and can fix up to 140 a self-pollinated, diploid, annual grain legume kg N ha/1 from air. It leaves a substantial amount crop. The global production of chickpea is of residual nitrogen for subsequent crops and nearly 11 million tonnes and India is the major adds plenty of organic matter to maintain and producer accounting for 64% of the total chickpea improve soil health. Because of its deep tap root production (FAOSTAT, 2012). It is a major source system, chickpea can withstand extended periods of high quality protein in human diet and also of drought by extracting water from deeper layers provides high quality crop residues for animal feed. of the soil. Chickpea is classified into two broad types,desi Chickpea is eaten fresh as a green vegetable or and kabuli. Most of the desi types are small in size, parched, fried, roasted, or boiled seeds. Dal (split angular in shape with dark seed color and rough chickpea without seedcoat) and flour are used seed coat, while kabuli have large beaked seeds extensively in India as a thick soup for making with white or beige seed coat colour and larger in breads. Sprouted seeds are eaten as a vegetable or size with smoother seed coat. Kabuli type chickpea added to salads. Young seedlings and green pods is mostly grown in the temperate regions, while are also eaten. Chickpea seeds may be milled or the Desi type chickpea is grown in the semi-arid directly used for animal feed. Leaves yield an indigo tropics (Muehlbauer and Singh, 1987; Malhotra et like dye. Acid exudates from the leaves can be used al., 1987). However, several early-maturing Kabuli as a medicine or used as vinegar.

Chickpea is considered as one of the most nutritious food grain legumes for human consumption with potential health benefits. High fiber content in chickpea has the ability to lower cholesterol and prevent blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal and thus, making it a healthy food for diabetic patients. Chickpea also contains raffinose-type oligosaccharides, which cause flatulence. However, these effects can be neutralized by boiling or soaking the seeds in water. The nutrient profile of the chickpea varieties with smaller seeds is different, especially in

It limits chickpea productivity and causes significant losses to the economies of the world’s largest chickpea exporters. This review may be of interest to researchers who would like to contribute to the improvement of chickpea cultivation on Zn-depleted soils in an environmentally sustainable manner, namely via identification of genotypes with superior symbiotic performance under Zn-limited conditions. The primary aim of the current work is to familiarize the readers with the biology and symbiotic characteristics of chickpea, and also to provide the necessary background on Zn as an essential nutrient for symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF). Special attention has been paid to the choice of rhizobial strains compatible with chickpea. Strains that can serve as an inoculum for simultaneous analysis of many genetically diverse chickpea lines have been suggested. The genotypes listed in this work can be good starting material for identification of chickpea lineages useful for unraveling the molecular basis of Zn-use efficiency, SNF efficiency, or both.

Upadhyaya, Manish Roorkiwal, Rajeev K. Varshney and C.L. Laxmipathi Gowda International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru, Hyderabad, India 4.1 Introduction Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a self-pollinated true diploid (2n=2x=16) cool season leguminous crop that ranks second among food grain legumes in the world after common bean (FAOSTAT, 2011). It is grown in a wide range of environments in over 50 countries in subtropical and temperate regions of the world, mainly in the Indian subcontinent, West Asia, North Africa, the Americas and Australia (FAOSTAT, 2011). Based on seed shape, size and colour, two distinct forms of cul- tivated chickpea are known (Cubero, 1975); namely, the desi type, characterized mostly by pink flowers, angular. brown, small seeds with a high percentage of fibre, primarily grown in South Asia and Africa; and kabuli type, having white flowers and owl-head-shaped, beige, large seeds with a low percentage of fibre, grown in Mediterranean countries. A third type, designated as intermediate or pea-shaped, is characterized by medium to small size and round, pea-shaped seeds. Kabuli types are grown in about two-thirds of chickpea-growing countries, but desi type predominates in chickpea production and accounts for about 85%, while kabuli accounts for about 15% of the world chickpea production. It is grown primarily for its protein-rich seeds. In addition, chickpea seeds are also rich in minerals (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc), fibre, unsaturated fatty acids, and β-carotene (Jukanti, Gaur, Gowda, & Chibbar, 2012).

Gaur , S. K. Chaturvedi , N. P. Singh , and J. S. Sandhu Abstract The narrow genetic base of cultivated chickpea warrants systematic collection, documentation and evaluation of chickpea germplasm and particularly wild Cicer species for effective and effi cient use in chickpea breeding programmes. Limiting factors to crop production, possible solutions and ways to overcome them, importance of wild relatives and barriers to alien gene introgression and strategies to overcome them and traits for base broadening have been discussed. It has been clearly demonstrated that resistance to major biotic and abiotic stresses can be successfully introgressed from the primary gene pool comprising progenitor species. However, many desirable traits including high degree of resistance to multiple stresses that are present in the species belonging to secondary and tertiary gene pools can also be introgressed by using special techniques to overcome pre- and post-fertilization barriers. Besides resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses, the yield QTLs have also been introgressed from wild Cicer species to cultivated varieties. Status and importance of molecular markers, genome mapping and genomic tools for chickpea improvement are elaborated. Because of major genes for various biotic and abiotic stresses, the transfer of agronomically important traits into elite cultivars has been made easy and practical through marker-assisted selection and marker-assisted backcross. The usefulness of molecular markers such as SSR and SNP for the construction of high-density genetic maps of chickpea and for the identifi cation of genes/QTLs for stress resistance, quality and yield contributing traits has also been discussed.

  • Chickpea 1 Chickpea
    Chickpea 1 Chickpea Chickpea Varieties Left, Bengal (Indian); right, European Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Rosids Order: Fabales Family: Fabaceae Genus: Cicer Species: C. arietinum Binomial name Cicer arietinum L. The chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. Its seeds are high in protein. It is one of the earliest cultivated legumes: 7,500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East.[1] Other common names for the species include garbanzo bean, ceci bean, chana, sanagalu, Gonzo Bean and Bengal gram. Etymology The name "chickpea" traces back through the French chiche to cicer, Latin for ‘chickpea’ (from which the Roman cognomen Cicero was taken). The Oxford English Dictionary lists a 1548 citation that reads, "Cicer may be named in English Cich, or ciche pease, after the Frenche tonge." The dictionary cites "Chick-pea" in the mid-18th century; the original word in English taken directly from French was chich, found in print in English in 1388 and became obsolete in the 18th century. The word garbanzo came to English as "calavance" in the 17th century, from Old Spanish (perhaps influenced by Old Spanish garroba or algarroba), though it came to refer to a variety of other beans (cf. Calavance). The Portuguese (?) arvanço has suggested to some that the origin of the word garbanzo is in the Greek erebinthos.[2] But the Oxford English Dictionary notes that some scholars doubt this; it also mentions a possible origination in the word Chickpea 2 garbantzu, from Basque — a non-Indo-European tongue — in which it is a compound of garau, seed + antzu, dry.

Therefore, the study of the inheritance of leaf shape in cultivated chickpea has priority. For this purpose, ICC 6119 (multipinnate leaf) was crossed with Sierra (simple leaf) and ICC 4958 (normal leaves). In F1 generation, all filials had normal leaves since normal leaf shape was dominant over both multipinnate and simple leaves. In F2 generation, segregating progenies of the former crosses produced 109 normal leaves and 37 simple leaves, while the later crosses produced three shapes of leaves; 59 normal leaves, 18 multipinnate leaves and 27 simple leaves. The results suggested that the former and the later crosses were found to fit 12:4 and 9:3:4 patterns, respectively. It was concluded that leaf characteristics could be easily transferred from donor to receptor chickpea genotypes since leaf shape in the cultivated chickpea was governed by three factors.
