“…Throughout our study, the protein content ranged from 19.20% to 21.70% (data not shown). Zaccardelli et al [48] reported very similar results. The protein content values were lower for chickpea than the other leguminous species, such as grass peas, with values up to 24% [49].…”

Phenotypic and Quality Traits of Chickpea Genotypes under Rainfed Conditions in South Italy

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important cool-season food legume crop that is mainly cultivated as a rainfed crop. This study was conducted in Italy between 2017 and 2019 to evaluate the stability of seed yield (SY), biomass (AGB) and 1000 seed weight (THS), and to assess the seed quality of 12 kabuli chickpea accessions under field conditions. The likelihood-ratio test revealed significant effects of genotype only for the SY and THS. The environment and genotype × environment interaction (GEI) effects were highly significant for all variables. We found that the environment (year) and GEI explain 55.72% and 20.87% of the total seed yield variation, respectively. Most chickpea accessions showed sensitivity to frost conditions in the third growing season. No relationship was observed between the yield and the protein content in Kabuli chickpea. Among the accessions, Ares and Reale showed the best performance under all environmental conditions, and the Reale was the most stable chickpea.

“…A wide genetic variability was observed in terms of grain productivity within the chickpea genotypes. The best agronomic performances are generally obtained by the genotypes with the highest adaptability [8]. In a previous study conducted under Mediterranean conditions, the cultivar Sultano showed a higher GY with respect to Pascià [6].…”

“…Despite a moderate genetic effect on protein concentration, a large variability in terms of protein composition was observed in the current study. In recent years, the evidence of an existing genetic diversity in terms of seed protein composition was exploited in cultivated pulses, including chickpeas [8,17,27,28]. Most of the information on pulse protein composition was obtained by electrophoretic separation and is relative to genetic diversity [8,29,30], while less data are available on the effect of environmental [31] or agronomic factors [32].…”

Influence of Organic and Conventional Farming on Grain Yield and Protein Composition of Chickpea Genotypes

Chickpea is a key crop in sustainable cropping systems and for its nutritional value. Studies on agronomic and genetic influences on chickpea protein composition are missing. In order to obtain a deep insight into the genetic response of chickpeas to management in relation to agronomic and quality traits, a two-year field trial was carried out with eight chickpea genotypes under an organic and conventional cropping system. Protein composition was assessed by SDS-PAGE in relation to the main fractions (vicilin, convicilin, legumin, lectin, 2s-albumin). Crop response was highly influenced by year and presumably also by management, with a −50% decrease in grain yield under organic farming, mainly due to a reduction in seed number per m2. No effect of crop management was observed on protein content, despite significant differences in terms of protein composition. The ratio between the major globulins, 7s vicilin and 11s legumin, showed a negative relationship with grain yield and was found to be higher under organic farming. Among genotypes, black-seed Nero Senise was characterized by the highest productivity and water-holding capacity, associated with low lectin content. These findings highlight the importance of the choice of chickpea genotypes for cultivation under organic farming in relation to both agronomic performance and technological and health quality.

“…Chickpea is one of the important legume crops conventionally cultivated in marginal areas and saline soils (Rao et al, 2002). It is the world's third largest food legume crop and is a highly valued commodity being an important source of proteins for human consumption in several developing countries (Hameed et al, 2012;Zaccardelli et al, 2013). Chickpea is particularly sensitive to salinity and the annual salt induced yield losses of 8 to 10% globally occur in chickpea (Flowers et al, 2010).…”

Plant growth and development are adversely affected by salinity-a major environmental stress that limits agricultural production. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is sensitive to salinity that affects its yield and there is need to identify the tolerant genotypes. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salinity on chickpea genotypes with specific physiological and biochemical attributes contributing to their adaptability to salinity stress. Seven chickpea genotypes both desi (ICC8950, ICCV10, ICC15868, GL26054) and kabuli (BG1053, L550, L552) were evaluated for salinity tolerance. Maximum decrease in relative leaf water content and chlorophyll content was observed with ICC15868 and GL26054 among the desi and L552 from the kabuli genotypes. The photosynthetic pigments, activity of nitrate reductase and relative leaf water content was also reduced in response to salt application with effect being more pronounced in ICC15868, GL26054 and L552 as compared to ICC8950, ICCV10, BG1053 and L550. Lipid peroxidation increases with the increase in NaCl concentration, maximum increment was observed in genotypes ICC15868, GL26054 and L552. Accumulation of proline in response to environmental stresses seems to be widespread among plants. Higher protein fractions were observed with tolerant genotypes in contrast to sensitive genotypes. Salt imposed stress finally caused a higher decline in number of filled pods. On the basis of physiological and biochemical parameters genotypes ICC8950 and ICCV10 from the desi genotypes and BG1053 and L550 from kabuli were identified as the tolerant while ICC15868, GL26054 as the sensitive ones and L552 as the moderately tolerant genotypes. These genotypes could be used as a source of tolerance in breeding programme to develop salt tolerant genotypes.
