description: To develop genetic improvement strategies to modulate raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) concentration in  chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds, RFO and their precursor concentrations were analyzed in 171 chickpea genotypes from  diverse geographical origins. The genotypes were grown in replicated trials over two years in the field (Patancheru, India) and in  the greenhouse (Saskatoon, Canada). Analysis of variance revealed a significant impact of genotype, environment, and their  interaction on RFO concentration in chickpea seeds. Total RFO concentration ranged from 1.58 to 5.31 mmol/100 g and from  2.11 to 5.83 mmol/100 g in desi and kabuli genotypes, respectively. Sucrose (0.60−3.59 g/100 g) and stachyose (0.18−2.38 g/  100 g) were distinguished as the major soluble sugar and RFO, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive  correlation between substrate and product concentration in RFO biosynthesis. In chickpea seeds, raffinose, stachyose, and  verbascose showed a moderate broad sense heritability (0.25−0.56), suggesting the use of a multilocation trials based approach in  chickpea seed quality improvement programs.
