Inactivation of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus on chickpea, Cicer arietinum L.
Insect specific viruses like nucleopolyhedrosisvirus (NPV) can provide an alternative and effective insect pest control compared to conventional chemicals; however, on certain crops like chickpea efficacy of the virus is limited. Previous studies have demonstrated that inactivation on chickpea was …

Quality characteristics of Australian chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) for food usage
Australia is emerging as a significant producer and a major exporter of chickpeas. There is, however, little data on quality of Australian chickpea or on the use of chickpea in new food formulations for the western world. Physical properties, chemical composition and nutritional qualities of four …

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 …

GENETIC ANALYSIS OF SELECTED SEED CONSTITUENT TRAITS IN CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.)
… 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 chickpea …

Canopy Architecture and Plant Density Effect in Short-Season Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) production on the semi-arid Canadian Prairies is challenging due to a short growing season and low and variable moisture. The current recommended chickpea population density of 44 plants m-2 is based on preliminary studies and a narrow range of 20 to 50 plants m-2. The …

Effect of summer and winter rotations on selected soil properties and productivity of succeeding winter chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the minor pulse crops in South Africa, but there is hardly any commercial chickpea production in South Africa and the rest of Southern Africa despite its increasing domestic demand. The country meets its domestic demand through imports. Preliminary research …

Effect of biofertilizers on phosphorus nutrition and grain yield of des chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) grown in different agro-ecologies
South African soils are predominantly acidic and have high levels of Al and Fe, giving a higher P sorption capacity and low P levels. Consequently, soil fertility has become a major constraint in South Africa’s farming, thereby threatening crop production and food security. Literature reveals, …

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 …

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 …

Household Food Processing Strategies to Improve Iron and Zinc Bioavailability in Ethiopian Dishes Based on Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and Dry Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Pulses are major constituents of the human diet. Dry bean and chickpea, commonly grown in Ethiopia, are among the pulses that serve as important sources of energy and nutrients, particularly protein, minerals and folate. However, pulses also contain anti-nutrients which bind minerals, mainly iron …

Proteomic Investigation of chickpea seeds: the case study of the Italian genotype Pascià [Analisi proteomica dei semi di cece (Cicer arietinum L.): il caso del genotipo italiano Pascià]
Il cece (Cicer arietinum L.) rappresenta una preziosa fonte di proteine con rilevanti potenzialità nutrizionali, tecnologiche e salutistiche. Nonostante tale importanza, le sue componenti proteiche risultano ancora scarsamente investigate. Nella presente tesi di dottorato sono state applicate …

Chickpea proteins for food applications
The potential applications of chickpea proteins (Cicer arietinum L. cv Kaniva) as food ingredients have been investigated and presented in three major parts of this thesis. The first part identified different extraction conditions and their effects on the extraction yield and characteristics of the …

Growth and nodulation of autumn sown chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as affected by additional nitrogen: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Horticultural Science (Honours) at Lincoln University
Two glasshouse experiments and a field experiment were carried out to examine the growth and nodulation response of inoculated Kabuli and Desi chickpea to application of nitrogen. In the glasshouse experiments, a range of nitrogen levels were applied (0, 12.5, 25, 37.5, 50 and 100 mol N m⁻³). Leaf …

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), …
