The effect of water stress and storage conditions on seed quality of chickpea genotypes characterized by differences in seed size and coat colour
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an excellent utilizer of residual soil moisture in agricultural ecosystems. However, its seed quality and hence reproduction is constrained by water stress, seed size and storage conditions. This study was carried out at the University of KwaZulu- Natal (UKZN), …

The response of symbiotic performance, growth and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. ) genotypes to phosphorus fertilizer rates and rhizobial inoculation
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) is adapted to cool-seasons and its organs are of high nutritive value and serve as cheap sources of protein, especially in developing countries. Chickpea crop is mainly grown for human consumption, animal feed and for medicinal purposes. The introduction and promotion …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) biosynthesis in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds
To increase the global acceptability of chickpea by improving its nutritional quality, seed RFO (Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides) concentration needs to be reduced without affecting their role during seed development and positive impact on human health. To achieve this objective, the key …

The effect of phosphorus fertilizer and bradyrhizobium innoculation on grain yield and nutrients accumulation in two chickpea (Cicer aritienum L.) genotypes
Chickpea (Cicer aritienum L.) is an ancient crop that originated in South-Eastern Turkey and belongs to the genus Cicer, tribe Cicereae, and family Fabaceae. Chickpea has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) for its growth. However, chickpea productivity not only depends on N2 fixation or …

Effect of genotype and phosphorus fertilizer rates on water use and yield of chickpea
Production of chickpea in South Africa is currently insignificant but local demand is high. There are no recommendations on suitable genotypes of chickpea and agronomic practices at present. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of genotype and phosphorus (P) fertilizer rates on water use and …

Thermo and drought tolerance markers and regulation of heat stress proteins for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.; Fabaceae) production in NE South Africa
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is an important legume crop globally ranked third after dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and field pea (Pisum sativum). It constitutes 20% of the total global pulse production and around 95% of its production and consumption takes place in developing countries. Major …

GENETIC ANALYSIS OF SELECTED SEED CONSTITUENT TRAITS IN CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)
… grain utilization and end-use. To improve chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seed quality, it is imperative to identify novel genetic resources with desired seed composition for use in breeding programs. The specific objectives of the study were: 1) to characterize natural variation for selected …

Using targeted phenomics and environmental proxies to understand Phytophthora medicaginis and Phytophthora root rot resistance in Australian chickpea
Australian chickpea production is constrained by Phytophthora root rot (PRR), caused by the soil-borne oomycete Phytophthora medicaginis. Yield penalties are exacerbated by waterlogging resulting in partial or complete crop losses with few control options. Higher levels of PRR resistance have been …

Effect of biofertilizers on phosphorus nutrition and grain yield of des chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown in different agro-ecologies
… activity in the rhizosphere soil and, the two chickpea genotypes’ growth and yields under different environments. In 2019, three field experiments were conducted in three locations, namely Thohoyandou, Syferkuil, and Sikhwahlane, and two more were done at Thohoyandou and Syferkuil in 2021. The …
