A note on the evolution of kabuli chickpeas as shown by induced mutations in Cicer reticulatum Ladizinsky (2009, background): “Since the variability for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in the domesticated chickpeas is insufficient, wild Cicer species have been evaluated for biotic and abiotic stresses (Singh et al. 1998; Rao et al. 2003; Toker 2005; Sharma et al. 2006; Toker et al. 2007a).”
The use of wild relatives in crop improvement: a survey of developments over the last 20 years (2007, background): “However, both these crops have cultivars in the pipeline, with wild-derived disease resistant groundnut germplasm available to breeders (Rao et al. 2003), and rootworm resistant, drought and aluminum-tolerant, nutritionally-enhanced maize cultivars with Tripsacum gene introgression currently being f”
