Genome-wide identification, characterization and in-silico profiling of genes encoding FAD (fatty acid desaturase) proteins in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
(Elsevier, 2019)Fatty acid desaturases (FADs) are involved in introducing double bonds into the hydrocarbon chains of fatty acids leading to the formation of unsaturated fatty acids. These unsaturated fatty acids are known to play important ... -
Global transcriptome and coexpression network analyses reveal cultivar-specific molecular signatures associated with seed development and seed size/weight determination in chickpea.
(Wiley, 2017)Seed development is an intricate process regulated via a complex transcriptional regulatory network. To understand the molecular mechanisms governing seed development and seed size/weight in chickpea, we performed a ... -
Temperature-stratified screening of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genetic resource collections reveals very limited reproductive chilling tolerance compared to its annual wild relatives
(2012)Low reproductive chilling tolerance in chickpea impairs ovule fertilization, delaying pod set, exposing the crop to terminal drought throughout much of its distribution range. Despite this realization, little progress has ...
