We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection during chickpea breeding. Our data suggest the Eastern Mediterranean as the primary center of origin and migration route of chickpea from the Mediterranean/Fertile Crescent to Central Asia, and probably in parallel from Central Asia to East Africa (Ethiopia) and South Asia (India). Genome-wide association studies identified 262 markers and several candidate genes for 13 traits. Our study establishes a foundation for large-scale characterization of germplasm and population genomics, and a resource for trait dissection, accelerating genetic gains in future chickpea breeding. publisher: Nature Publishing Group date: 2019-04 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/11191/1/2019_NatureGenetics_chickpeas.pdf identifier: Varshney, R K and Thudi, M and Roorkiwal, M and He, W and Upadhyaya, H D and Yang, W and Bajaj, P and Cubry, P and Rathore, A and Jian, J and Doddamani, D and Khan, A W and Garg, V and Chitikineni, A and Xu, D and Gaur, P M and Singh, N P and Chaturvedi, S K and Gangarao, N V P R and Krishnamurthy, L and Dixit, G P and Fikre, A and Kimurto, P K and Sreeman, S M and Bharadwaj, C and Tripathi, S and Wang, J and Lee, S H and Edwards, D and Kavi Kishor, P B and Penmetsa, R V and Crossa, J and Nguyen, H T and Siddique, K H M and Colmer, T D and Sutton, T and von Wettberg, E and Vigouroux, Y and Xu, X and Liu, X (2019) Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits.
