Genetic mapping and transcriptome profiling of a chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) mutant identifies a novel locus (CaEl) regulating organ size and early vigor.

Scientists created a larger, more vigorous chickpea mutant with increased salt tolerance. It contains a deleted gene, resulting in effects on cell division and expansion. This mutant can be used in breeding programs to improve chickpea crop quality.

Fatty acid composition and genome-wide associations of a chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) diversity panel for biofortification efforts.

Researchers measured fatty acid levels in a chickpea panel, finding diverse concentrations. Genetic markers associated with one fatty acid were identified, suggesting potential for breeding chickpeas for improved health benefits and stress responses.
