Abstract excerpt
Understanding phenology and its regulation is central for the agronomic adaptation of chickpea. We grew 24 chickpea (Cicer arietinum) genotypes in 12 environments to analyse the environmental and genotypic drivers of phenology, associations between phenology and yield, and phenotypes associated with allelic variants of three flowering related candidate loci: CaELF3a, a cluster of three FT genes on chromosome 3,...
