Article Synopsis
  • The chickpea is valued for its resilience to climate change and ability to fix nitrogen, highlighting the need for alternatives to traditional nitrogen fertilizers due to rising global demand and financial losses in farming.
  • A comprehensive study involving 271 chickpea genotypes was conducted using genome-wide association analysis to explore nodulation and yield traits, utilizing extensive SNP data from whole-genome resequencing.
  • Results revealed significant genetic diversity in the study panel, identifying numerous marker-trait associations that can facilitate the development of high-nodulation chickpea varieties through marker-assisted selection.

Unlabelled: Utilization of crop wild relatives of wheat can be very effective in building the genetic diversity to cater to the evolving strains of disease pathogens. is a rich source of rust resistance genes however transferring those to wheat genome can be tedious due to co-transfer and preferential transmission of undesirable genes causing gametocidal activity. Such an unholy association was observed in - derivative line Sel.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study analyzed the genetic diversity of seven Indian horse breeds using whole-genome sequencing, leading to the detection of 620,721 SNPs and identifying patterns of runs of homozygosity (ROH), finding the Zanskari breed had the highest number of ROHs.
  • * An Equine SNP marker database (EqSNPDb) was created to organize and provide easy access to information on ROHs and associated SNPs, highlighting significant traits like Wither's height across the different horse breeds.
