Abstract

Genetic characterization plays a key role in chickpea breeding programs since genetic base of the cultivated chickpea is narrow. This study aims to determine the genetic relationships among 23 cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and 2 genotypes of Cicer reticulatum Ladizusing simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers with 10 SSR primer pairs. A total of 58 alleles were detected at 10 loci. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 11, with an average of 5.8. The polymorphic information (PI) ranged from 0.074 (NCPGR42) to 0.806 (NCPGR28) with an average of 0.42. The genetic similarity among all accessions ranged from 0.10 to 0.90. Genotypes of C. reticulatum were considerably different from the cultivated chickpea. The cultivars of chickpea were divided into four groups while Er99 and Dikbas cultivars were genetically the closest each other. ICC 4958, 'microsperma' or desi' chickpea was found genetically the closest cultivar to Cicer reticulatum. It was suggested that different groups should be crossed in breeding programs to increase variations in chickpeas.

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
