"Characterization and identification of annual wild Cicer species for seed protein and mineral concentrations for chickpea improvement"^^ . "Developing nutrient-rich crop cultivars is the most economic strategy to combat malnutrition\r\nresulting from protein and mineral deficiencies. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum\r\nL.) is an important staple grain legume source of good quality dietary protein around\r\nthe world, particularly in southern Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. In\r\nthe present investigation, the genetic variability for protein and mineral concentrations\r\nwas studied in 41 accessions of cultivated chickpea and eight annual wild Cicer\r\nspecies of primary, secondary, and tertiary gene pool. Large variability was observed\r\nbetween and within Cicer species for seed protein, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, and Mg concentration\r\nwith high heritability. C. chorassanicum (Bunge) Popov was found to be\r\nthe most promising species for high seed protein and Ca; C. judaicum Boiss. for\r\nhigh seed Fe, Cu. and Mg; C. yamashiatae Kitam. for high seed Zn and Fe; and\r\nC. pinnatifidum Jaub. & Spach for high seed Mn concentrations. All the wild Cicer\r\naccessions except ICC20190 (C. echinospermum P. H. Davis) had high concentration\r\nof at least one or more seed nutrients. Wild Cicer accessions such as ICC17141\r\n(C. chorassanicum), ICC17269 and ICC17303 (both C. pinnatifidum), ICC17261\r\nand ICC17262 (C. reticulatum), ICC20236 (C. chorassanicum), and ICC17117 and\r\nICC17281 (C. yamashitae) were found promising for multiple seed nutrients. As C.\r\nreticulatum Ladiz. and C. echinospremum accessions are crossable with cultivated\r\nchickpea, promising C. reticulatum accessions identified in the present study can be\r\nused in crossing program for developing new nutrient-rich chickpea cultivars."^^ .
