Novel Genomic Regions Linked to Blight Resistance in Two Differentially Resistant Cultivars of Chickpea.

blight (AB), caused by the fungal pathogen , is a devastating foliar disease of chickpea ( L.). The genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)-based approach was deployed for mapping QTLs associated with AB resistance in chickpea in two recombinant inbred line populations derived from two crosses (AB derived from ILC 1929 × ILC 3279 and AB derived from ILC 1929 × ILC 482) and tested in six different environments.

Leveraging genomic resources of model species for the assessment of diversity and phylogeny in wild and domesticated lentil.

Advances in comparative genomics have provided significant opportunities for analysis of genetic diversity in species with limited genomic resources, such as the genus Lens. Medicago truncatula expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were aligned with the Arabidopsis thaliana genome sequence to identify conserved exon sequences and splice sites in the ESTs. Conserved primers (CPs) based on M.
