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. date: 2013 date_type: published publication: Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry volume: 61 publisher: American Chemical Society pagerange: 4943-4952 refereed: TRUE issn: 1520-5118 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jf3054033 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Genotype+and+Growing+Environment+Interaction+Shows+a+Positive+Correlation+between+Substrates+of+Raffinose+Family+Oligosaccharides+%28RFO%29+Biosynthesis+and+Their+Accumulation+in+Chickpea+%28Cicer+arietinum+L.%2 related_url_type: pub funders: Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG) funders: Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC−CRDPJ collaborative research program) funders: Canada Research Chairs Program funders: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Internationalization program citation: Gangola, M P and Khedikar, Y P and Gaur, P M and Baga, M and Chibbar, R N (2013) Genotype and Growing Environment Interaction Shows a Positive Correlation between Substrates of Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides (RFO) Biosynthesis and Their Accumulation in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
