"Exploiting genomic resources for efficient conservation and utilization of chickpea, groundnut, and pigeonpea collections for crop improvement"^^ . "Both chickpea and pigeonpea are important dietary source of protein, while groundnut is one of\r\nthe major oil crops. Globally, ~1.1 million grain legume accessions are conserved in genebanks,\r\nof which, ICRISAT genebank holds ~50,000 accessions of cultivated species and wild relatives\r\nof chickpea, pigeonpea, and groundnut from 133 countries. These genetic resources are\r\nreservoirs of many useful genes for the present and future crop improvement programs.\r\nRepresentative subsets in the form of core and mini core collections have been used to identify\r\ntrait-specific genetically diverse germplasm for use in breeding and genomic studies in these\r\ncrops. Chickpea, groundnut and pigeonpea have moved from ‘orphan’ to ‘genomic resources rich\r\ncrops’. The chickpea and pigeonpea genomes have been decoded, and the sequences of\r\ngroundnut genome will soon be available. With the availability of these genomic resources, the\r\ngermplasm curators, breeders and molecular biologists will have abundant opportunities to\r\nenhance the efficiency of genebank operations, mine allelic variations in germplasm collection,\r\nidentify genetically diverse germplasm with beneficial traits, broaden the cultigen’s genepool,\r\nand accelerate the cultivar development to address new challenges to production, particularly\r\nwith respect to climate change and variability. Marker-assisted breeding approaches have already been initiated for some traits in chickpea and groundnut, which should lead to enhanced\r\nefficiency and efficacy of crop improvement. Resistance to some pests and diseases has been\r\nsuccessfully transferred from wild relatives to cultivated species."^^ . "2013" . . "6" . "3" . . "Crop Science Society of America"^^ . . .
