Understanding the genetic basis for salinity tolerance is important to develop salinity tolerant chickpeas. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed using parental lines ICCV 10 (salt-tolerant) and DCP 92-3 (salt-sensitive) was screened under field conditions to collect information on agronomy, yield components, and stress tolerance indices. Genotyping data generated using Axiom®CicerSNP array was used to construct a linkage map comprising 1856 SNP markers spanning a distance of 1106.3 cM across eight chickpea chromosomes. Extensive analysis of the phenotyping and genotyping data identified 28 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) explaining up to 28.40% of the phenotypic variance in the population. We identified QTL clusters on CaLG03 and CaLG06, each harboring major QTLs for yield and yield component traits under salinity stress. The main-effect QTLs identified in these two clusters were associated with key genes such as calcium-dependent protein kinases, histidine kinases, cation proton antiporter, and WRKY and MYB transcription factors, which are known to impart salinity stress tolerance in crop plants. Molecular markers/genes associated with these major QTLs, after validation, will be useful to undertake marker-assisted breeding for developing better varieties with salinity tolerance. date: 2020-07 date_type: published publication: International Journal of Molecular Sciences (TSI) volume: 21 number: 14 publisher: MDPI pagerange: 1-17 id_number: doi:10.3390/ijms21145058 refereed: TRUE issn: 1422-0067 official_url: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms21145058 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=10.3390%2Fijms21145058&btnG= related_url_type: pub citation: Soren, K R and Madugula, P and Kumar, N and Barmukh, R and Sengar, M S and Bharadwaj, C and Sharma, P C and Singh, S and Bhandari, A and Singh, J and Sanwal, S K and Pal, M and Sneha Priya, P R and Mann, A and Sagurthi, S R and Shanmugavadivel, P S and Siddique, K H M and Singh, N P and Roorkiwal, M and Varshney, R K (2020) Genetic Dissection and Identification of Candidate Genes for Salinity Tolerance Using Axiom®CicerSNP Array in Chickpea.
