Abstract excerpt
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)-an important legume crop cultivated in arid and semiarid regions-has limited genetic diversity. Efforts are being undertaken to broaden its diversity by utilizing its wild relatives, which remain largely unexplored. Here, we present the Cicer super-pangenome based on the de novo genome assemblies of eight annual Cicer wild species. We identified 24,827 gene families, including 14,748...
