Unraveling the Variability of Essential Oil Composition in Different Accessions of Collected from Different Temperate Micro-Climates.

The present investigation was performed to evaluate the variability of the essential oil composition present in the seed extract of Kala zeera ( Bioss.) obtained from different geographical zones of Northwestern-Himalayan using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrum (GC-MS). The results of the GC-MS analysis revealed significant differences in the essential oil content.

SSR markers in revealing extent of genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among chickpea core collection accessions for Western Himalayas.

Background: The exploration of genetic diversity is the key source of germplasm conservation and potential to broaden its genetic base. The globally growing demand for chickpea suggests superior/climate-resilient varieties, which in turn necessitates the germplasm characterization to unravel underlying genetic variation.

Methodology And Results: A chickpea core collection comprising of diverse 192 accessions which include cultivated Cicer arietinum, and wild C.

Assessment of cold tolerance in chickpea ( spp.) grown under cold/freezing weather conditions of North-Western Himalayas of Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Unlabelled: Chickpea is one of the most important grain legume crops in the world. India is the largest producer, consumer as well as importer of chickpea. Cold stress (temperature < 15 °C) is one of the important abiotic stresses limiting chickpea production by hampering its growth and vigor at all phenological stages.
