“…Polygenic control of seed weight is common among grain legumes, such as chickpea (Niknejad et al, 1971), broad bean (Cubero, 1984), and common bean (Motto et al, 1978). High heritability estimates of seed weight were recorded for chickpea Table 3.…”

“…as well as in the Middle American common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). In chickpea, small seed size was found to be dominant in Desi x Kabuli crosses (Smithson et al, 1985), while polygenic control of seed size and partial dominance of large seed size were found by Niknejad et al (1971). A polygenic system governs seed shape and size in faba beans (Cubero, 1984).…”

Genetic analysis and linkage study of seed weight in lentil

1991

The genetics of seed weight was studied in crosses between the cultivated lentil L. culinaris and the wild species L, orientalis and L. ervoides. Seed weight was found to be under polygenic control with additive and dominant gene action and with partial dominance of low seed weight alleles. High heretability estimates were obtained in the analysed crosses. Nuclear-cytoplasmic interaction was found to affect seed weight in crosses involving accession No.138 of L. orientalis. Factors affecting seed weight were linked to morphological and DNA markers distributed over several linkage groups. High seed weight in segregating generations were usually associated with alleles of marker loci originated from the cultivated parent. Factors enhancing seed weight were detected in accession No.138 of L. orientalis, indicating the potential of wild genetic resources for seed weight improvement in lentil.

“…Earlier studies in chickpea showed low (Sandha & Chandra, 1969) as well as high (Niknejad et al, 1971;Kumar & Singh, 1995) estimates of heritability for seed size. Small seed size was found dominant over large one (Athwal & Sandha, 1967;Smithson et al, 1985;Kumar & Singh 1995;Malhotra et al, 1997).…”

“…However, there are reports suggesting reverse to be true as well (Niknejad et al, 1971). Additive gene action has been reported to be predominant for seed size inheritance (Malhotra & Singh, 1989;Singh et al, 1992;Singh et al, 1993;Kumar & Singh, 1995).…”

“…Additive gene action has been reported to be predominant for seed size inheritance (Malhotra & Singh, 1989;Singh et al, 1992;Singh et al, 1993;Kumar & Singh, 1995). Seed size inheritance in chickpea was reported to be monogenic (Argikar, 1956), oligogenic (Balasubrahmanyan, 1950;Patil & D'Cruze, 1964), digenic (Ghatge, 1993) and polygenic (Athwal & Sandha, 1967;Niknejad et al, 1971;Kumar & Singh, 1995;Malhotra et al, 1997). Niknejad et al (1971) reported that one or two genes could explain substantial genetic variation in seed size.…”

Two major genes for seed size in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

et al. 2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Seed size as determined by seed weight, is an important trait for trade and component of yield and adaptation in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Inheritance of seed size in chickpea was studied in a cross between ICC11255, a normal seed size parent (average 120 mg seed −1 ) and ICC 5002, a small seed size parent (average 50 mg seed −1 ). Seed weight observations on individual plants of parents, F 1 , F 2 , and backcross generations, along with reciprocal cross generations revealed that the normal seed size was dominant over small seed size. No maternal effect was detected for seed size. The numbers of individuals with normal, small and medium (average 150 mg seed −1 ) seed sizes in F 2 population were 1237, 323 and 111 fitting well to the expected ratio of 12:3:1 (χ 2 = 0.923, P = 0.630). The segregation data of backcross generations also indicated that seed size in chickpea was controlled by two genes with dominance epistasis. We designate the genotype of ICC 11255 as Sd 1 Sd 1 sd 2 sd 2 , and ICC 5002 as sd 1 sd 1 Sd 2 Sd 2 wherein Sd 1 is epistatic to Sd 2 and sd 2 alleles.

Influence of growing season, location and planting time on some quality parameters of kabuli chickpea

1990

Variability in hundred seed weight (HSW), protein content (PC) and cooking time ( C T ) was determined in the world collection of kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L ) maintained at ICARDA. HSW varied from 8 to 679, PC fiom 143 to 270 g kg-' (14.3 to 27%) and C T f o m 50 to 296 min. Over all observations a coefjicient of correlation of 0.87 (P=O.Ol) was found between HSW and CT. This was not maintained for genotypes of intermediate HS W (25-42 g per 100 seeds). Standard unit heritability was 0.96, 0-37 and 0.68 respectively for HSW, PC and CT, while broad sense heritability was 0.79for HS W and 0.55for PC indicating a surprisingly high degree of heritability of PC in the kabuli chickpea.Growing season had a marked effect on HSW and a lesser effect on PC than did growing location, and genotypelseason and genotypellocation interactions were apparent in both HSW and PC. Since CT and HSW were highly correlated, C T was affected to the same extent as HSW by growing season and location. PC appeared to be the most stable of the three quality parameters, and several lines were identified which maintained a PC significantly higher than the population mean when grown on two locations over two seasons, with low within-genotype coeflcients of variability.Compared with spring planting, winter planting decreased PC by 8 g kg -'whereas HSW increased by 1.2g per 100 seeds.
