The simultaneous improvement of yield/productivity as well as quality traits often requires pyramiding of multiple genes, which remains a major hurdle given various associated epistatic and pleotropic effects. Unfortunately, no single gene that can improve yield/productivity along with quality and other desirable agromorphological traits is known, hampering the genetic enhancement of chickpea. Using a combinatorial genomics-assisted breeding and functional genomics strategy, this study identified natural alleles and haplotypes of an ABCC3-type transporter gene that regulates seed weight, an important domestication trait, by transcriptional regulation and modulation of the transport of glutathione conjugates in seeds of desi and kabuli chickpea. The superior allele/haplotype of this gene introgressed in desi and kabuli near-isogenic lines enhances the seed weight, yield, productivity, and multiple desirable plant architecture and seed-quality traits without compromising agronomic performance. These salient findings can expedite crop improvement endeavors and the development of nutritionally enriched high-yielding cultivars in chickpea. date: 2019-05 date_type: published publication: Plant Physiology (TSI) volume: 180 number: 1 publisher: American Society of Plant Biologists pagerange: 253-275 id_number: 10.1104/pp.18.00934 refereed: TRUE issn: 0032-0889 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.18.00934 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=ABC+Transporter-Mediated+Transport+of+Glutathione+Conjugates+Enhances+Seed+Yield+and+Quality+in+Chickpea&btnG= related_url_type: pub funders: Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India funders: Department of Biotechnology and the University Grants Commission citation: Basu, U and Upadhyaya, H D and Srivastava, R and Daware, A and Malik, N and Sharma, A and Bajaj, D and Narnoliya, L and Thakro, V and Kujur, A and Tripathi, S and Bharadwaj, C and Hegde, V S and Pandey, A K and Singh, A K and Tyagi, A K and Parida, S K (2019) ABC Transporter-Mediated Transport of Glutathione Conjugates Enhances Seed Yield and Quality in Chickpea.
