Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major grain legume crops in the world. In this study, the genetic diversity of 24 Australian chickpea cultivars released between 1987 and 2005 was investigated with microsatellite-anchored fragment length polymorphism (MFLP) DNA markers. Among the cultivars examined, 30 cultivar-specific markers were identified and all were unequivocally identified using the DNA fingerprints developed in this study. Most of the cultivars were grouped into two major clusters; cv. Flipper was separated from the rest based on total character differences of DNA polymorphism. The MFLP approach proved suitable in the analysis of genetic diversity among the chickpea cultivars studied and the genetic relationship identified will be useful for chickpea breeding programs in selecting parent materials.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important pulse crop grown and consumed all over the world. It is a good as well as the cheapest source of protein, soluble, insoluble fibers, vitamins, potassium and phosphorus. The present research was done to check the efficacy of gamma irradiation on chickpea’s proximate components and how the physical mutagen helped in Salmonella inactivation without any significant change in the proximate components of chickpea. The samples were treated with three different doses of gamma radiation (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 kGy). Screening and evaluation of native micro flora on chickpea was performed and the viable counts of the microbes detected on samples of chickpea were Bacillus subtillis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella sp. which were confirmed by biochemical test (API strips) before and after gamma irradiation. Results showed that 2 kGy is the optimum dose for chickpea at which complete elimination of Salmonella was recorded with no significant effect on sensory property as well as the proximate content of Cicer arietinum L.

El garbanzo (Cicer arietinum L.) es una de las principales leguminosas de grano cultivadas en el mundo. México es de los diez principales productores a nivel mundial con una producción total de 171 mil toneladas de grano. Este cultivo presenta alto nivel de autogamia y de monotonía genética, lo que dificulta la diferenciación de genotipos élite. En este estudio preliminar se evaluó la variabilidad de 57 genotipos de diferentes áreas geográficas mediante caracteres morfológicos y marcadores moleculares tipo RAPD e ISSR. El análisis de correspondencia múltiple mostró que los mayores valores discriminantes fueron el color de la flor azul y semillas grandes y de forma redondeada, pero el agrupamiento respectivo no diferenció a las accesiones, incluyendo las especies silvestres; sin embargo, el análisis UPGMA logró una mejor separación. Los marcadores RAPD aun cuando generaron perfiles de ADN, no fueron informativos, mientras que los ISSR diferenciaron a las 57 accesiones de C. arietinum utilizadas y a la especie silvestre C. reticulatum, lo que los hace buenos candidatos para caracterizar este cultivo. Este estudio sirvió como base para desarrollar otro sistema de marcadores moleculares más eficiente en esta especie.
