Genomics of Seed and Pod Traits in Chickpea

The pod (fruit) and seed are the defining characteristics of chickpea and most importantly have high economic value as human diet. The seed and pod characters are also major yield contributing traits of chickpea and vary widely among cultivated desi and kabuli types, landraces and wild species accessions. Narrow genetic base and lack of requisite genetic variation in the cultivated chickpea species is the major limiting factor for the identification and fine mapping of genes for the traits contributing to higher pod and seed yield in chickpea. Molecular analysis and characterization of available diverse genetic resources of chickpea with considerable trait variation for seed and pod characteristics using new generation genomics tools and modern bioinformatics approaches could accelerate the discovery of sufficient numbers of informative genetic markers like single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and useful novel alleles in target genes and their regulatory sequences. Further, association of these candidate gene based genotypic information with the phenotypic information of specific seed and pod traits of the contrasting types would be an attractive solution for identification of genes and alleles for traits contributing to higher seed and pod yield in chickpea. Besides, validation of such genes and alleles identified by genetic association analysis in bi-parental mapping population and in different developmental stages of pod and seed of contrasting chickpea germplasm lines through expression profiling and functional analysis would enable identification of novel functionally relevant genes and alleles for major pod and seed traits and understanding their transcriptional regulation during developmental process of seed and pod formation in chickpea and other multi-seeded/podded legume species like Vigna. Keeping the above in view, the research work will be undertaken for (1) identification of genes and novel alleles for traits contributing to higher seed and pod yield in chickpea through candidate gene based association analysis and gene expression profiling, (2) functional validation of the identified genes/alleles in transgenic systems, and (3) combination and use of the identified genes/alleles in genetic enhancement of target species.
