The complete chloroplast genome of Cicer reticulatum and comparative analysis against relative Cicer species.

The chloroplast (cp) genome is an adequate genomic resource to investigate evolutionary relationships among plant species and it carries marker genes available for species identification. The Cicer reticulatum is one of perennial species as the progenitor of cultivated chickpeas. Although a large part of the land plants has a quadruple chloroplast genome organization, the cp genome of C.

Complete chloroplast genome of Lens lamottei reveals intraspecies variation among with Lens culinaris.

Lens lamottei is a member of the Fabaceae family and the second gene pool of the genus Lens. The environmental factors that drove the divergence among wild and cultivated species have been studied extensively. Recent research has focused on genomic signatures associated with various phenotypes with the acceleration of next-generation techniques in molecular profiling.

Genome wide association study of genes controlling resistance to Didymella rabiei Pathotype IV through genotyping by sequencing in chickpeas (Cicer arietinum).

Ascochyta blight (AB) is a major disease in chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) that can cause a yield loss of up to 100%. Chickpea germplasm collections at the center of origin offer great potential to discover novel sources of resistance to pests and diseases.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Lens ervoides and comparison to Lens culinaris.

Lens is a member of the Papilionoideae subfamily of Fabaceae and is generally used as a source of vegetable protein as part of human diets in many regions worldwide. Chloroplast (cp) genomes are highly active genetic components of plants and can be utilized as molecular markers for various purposes. As one of the wild lentil species, the Lens ervoides cp genome has been sequenced for the first time in this study using next-generation sequencing.

The Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of , Genome Organization, and Comparison with Related Species.

Background: Chickpea is one of Turkey's most significant legumes, and because of its high nutritional value, it is frequently preferred in human nourishment.Chloroplasts, which have their own genetic material, are organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells and their genome contains non-trivial information about the molecular features and evolutionary process of plants.

Objective: Current study aimed at revealing complete chloroplast genome sequence of one of the wild type species, and comparing its genome with cultivated species, by using bioinformatics analysis tools.

Optical mapping of the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae genome.

Optical mapping approaches are widely preferred and applied in different branches of genomic studies because of their accuracy, low cost, and high efficiency. In the current study, a sequence orientation of the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.

Genome-wide association links candidate genes to fruit firmness, fruit flesh color, flowering time, and soluble solid content in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.).

Background: Apricots originated from China, Central Asia and the Near East and arrived in Anatolia, and particularly in their second homeland of Malatya province in Turkey. Apricots are outstanding summer fruits, with their beautiful attractive color, delicious sweet taste, aroma and high vitamin and mineral content.

Methods And Results: In the current study, a total of 259 apricots genotypes from different geographical origins in Turkey were used.

Identification of SNP Markers Associated with Iron and Zinc Concentrations in Cicer Seeds.

Background: L. is the wild progenitor of chickpea L., the fourth most important pulse crop in the world.

Genome-wide association studies of Ca and Mn in the seeds of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

SNP markers linked to genes controlling Ca and Mn uptake were identified in the common bean seeds using DArT-based association mapping (AM). The Ca concentration in the seeds varied between 475 and 3,100 mg kg with an average of 1,280.9 mg kg and the Mn concentration ranged from 4.

Association mapping of magnesium and manganese concentrations in the seeds of C. arietinum and C. reticulatum.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the oldest and most important pulse crops grown and consumed all over the world, especially in developing countries. Magnesium (Mg) and manganese (Mn) are essential plant nutrients in terms of human health and many health problems arise in their deficiencies.

Association mapping of loci linked to copper, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations in the seeds of C. arietinum and C. reticulatum.

Due to its high nutritional value, chickpea is one of the most important and cost-effective legumes for human diet. Nutrient elements, such as Cu, P, K have numerous essential functions for the human metabolism. In this study, association mapping of loci linked to the seed Cu, P and K concentrations were performed on a population consisting of 107 Cicer reticulatum and 73 Cicer arietinum individuals in four environments (two locations x two years).

QTL Mapping of Genome Regions Controlling Manganese Uptake in Lentil Seed.

This study evaluated Mn concentration in the seeds of 120 RILs of lentil developed from the cross "CDC Redberry" × "ILL7502". Micronutrient analysis using atomic absorption spectrometry indicated mean seed manganese (Mn) concentrations ranging from 8.5 to 26.

A consensus linkage map of lentil based on DArT markers from three RIL mapping populations.

Background: Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris Medikus) is a diploid (2n = 2x = 14), self-pollinating grain legume with a haploid genome size of about 4 Gbp and is grown throughout the world with current annual production of 4.9 million tonnes.

Identification QTLs Controlling Genes for Se Uptake in Lentil Seeds.

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an excellent source of protein and carbohydrates and is also rich in essential trace elements for the human diet. Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for human health and nutrition, providing protection against several diseases and regulating important biological systems.
