Genomic Characterization of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae which includes various species used for human consumption due to the high protein content present in seeds. This book reviews the application of molecular traits used for characterizing the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of chickpea genetic resources to enhance crop yield and production. This book is of interest to plant geneticists, plant breeders, researchers, and scientists.
