Article Synopsis
- Chickpeas provide essential nutrients like protein and minerals to impoverished communities in Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, helping to combat malnutrition.
- The study evaluated 280 chickpea varieties for their nutrient content and agronomic traits using a 5k SNP array to identify genetic markers linked to these traits.
- A total of 66 significant marker-trait associations were found, including specific SNPs linked to grain protein and mineral content, highlighting their potential for improving chickpea nutritional quality through marker-assisted breeding.
