Article Synopsis
- Rising temperatures are causing a productivity crisis in chickpea crop production, necessitating research into their heat stress tolerance.
- The study utilized a genomics-assisted breeding strategy to identify 10 key genomic regions and several candidate genes associated with heat stress tolerance in chickpea.
- Findings suggest that specific genes and regulatory mechanisms play a crucial role in enhancing heat resilience and yield stability, paving the way for improved chickpea breeding practices.
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a cool season grain legume experiencing severe yield loss during heat stress due to the intensifying climate changes and its associated gradual increase of mean temperature. Hence, understanding the genetic architecture regulating heat stress tolerance has emerged as an important trait to be addressed for enhancing yield and productivity of chickpea under heat stress. The present study is intended to identify the major genomic region(s) governing heat stress tolerance in chickpea.

- Accessory breast tissue, linked with conditions like polymastia (extra breasts) and polythelia (extra nipples), can cause anxiety about cancer, affecting 1-6% of people, often found under the arms.
- A case study highlights a 35-year-old man who experienced painful swelling in his armpit, leading to tests that identified the tissue as just accessory breast tissue, not cancerous.
- It’s recommended to surgically remove these accessory breasts both for cosmetic reasons and to reduce cancer-related worries.
Background: Rice grain size (GS) is an essential agronomic trait. Though several genes and miRNA modules influencing GS are known and seed development transcriptomes analyzed, a comprehensive compendium connecting all possible players is lacking. This study utilizes two contrasting GS indica rice genotypes (small-grained SN and large-grained LGR).
