Abstract:Phenology is critical to crop adaptation. We grew 24 chickpea 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; and a region on chromosome 4 with an orthologue of the floral promoter GIGANTEA. A simple model with 3 genotype-specific parameters explained the differences in flowering … Show more
