Largest plant genome sequencing effort yields a pan-genome for chickpea, sets it up for a breeding revolution
An international team of researchers from 41 organizations has assembled chickpea’s (chana) pan-genome by sequencing the genomes of 3,366 chickpea lines from Read more...
Major step forward in chickpea and pigeonpea research – reference genome data assembled
Addressing protein hunger: New genome assemblies of chickpea and pigeonpea lines available @ICRISAT will allow scientists to better understand plant traits to breed more nutritional varieties. Processes that take years were completed in a few months with NRGene’s DeNovoMAGICTM 3.0
Dr Rajeev K Varshney, Genetic Gains Research Program Director, ICRISAT ranked among The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds and Highly cited researchers 4th time in a row
