"Flowering time is an important trait of chickpea that influences\r\ncrop adaptation to a given climate. Earliness in both flowering\r\ntime and maturity are important traits for increasing and\r\nstabilizing chickpea productivity in short season environments\r\nby avoiding end of season drought. A study was conducted to\r\nidentify genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling flowering\r\ntime in chickpea using four F2 populations (ICCV 96029 × CDC\r\nFrontier, ICC 5810 × CDC Frontier, BGD 132 × CDC Frontier and\r\nICC 16641 × CDC Frontier). Genetic studies revealed monogenic\r\ncontrol of flowering time in the crosses ICCV 96029 × CDC\r\nFrontier, BGD 132 × CDC Frontier and ICC 16641 × CDC Frontier,\r\nwhile in the cross ICC 5810 × CDC Frontier, it was under digenic\r\ncontrol with complementary gene action. The genetic linkage\r\nmaps developed from four crosses consisted of 75, 75, 68 and 67\r\nmarkers spanning 248.8 cM, 331.4 cM, 311.1 cM, and 385.1 cM,\r\nrespectively. A consensus map spanning 363.8 cM with 109 loci\r\nwas developed by integrating four genetic maps. QTL mapping\r\ndetected major genomic regions controlling early flowering genes\r\nefl-1 (Qefl1-2) on CaLG04, efl-2 (Qefl2-1, Qefl2-2, Qefl2-3, Qefl2-\r\n4) on CaLG01, 03, 04 and 08, efl-3 (Qefl3-3) on CaLG08 and efl4\r\n(Qefl4-1) on CaLG06. Analysis of QTL regions on CaLG04 and\r\nCaLG08 provided several important candidate genes involved in\r\nregulation of flowering time and homeotic functions. The identified\r\ngenomic regions with linked molecular markers can be deployed\r\nfor introgressing early flowering trait into elite chickpea\r\ncultivars through marker-assisted breeding (MAB)."^^ .
