Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important pulse crop grown and consumed all over the world. It is a good as well as the cheapest source of protein, soluble, insoluble fibers, vitamins, potassium and phosphorus. The present research was done to check the efficacy of gamma irradiation on chickpea’s proximate components and how the physical mutagen helped in Salmonella inactivation without any significant change in the proximate components of chickpea. The samples were treated with three different doses of gamma radiation (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 kGy). Screening and evaluation of native micro flora on chickpea was performed and the viable counts of the microbes detected on samples of chickpea were Bacillus subtillis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella sp. which were confirmed by biochemical test (API strips) before and after gamma irradiation. Results showed that 2 kGy is the optimum dose for chickpea at which complete elimination of Salmonella was recorded with no significant effect on sensory property as well as the proximate content of Cicer arietinum L.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major grain legume crops in the world. In this study, the genetic diversity of 24 Australian chickpea cultivars released between 1987 and 2005 was investigated with microsatellite-anchored fragment length polymorphism (MFLP) DNA markers. Among the cultivars examined, 30 cultivar-specific markers were identified and all were unequivocally identified using the DNA fingerprints developed in this study. Most of the cultivars were grouped into two major clusters; cv. Flipper was separated from the rest based on total character differences of DNA polymorphism. The MFLP approach proved suitable in the analysis of genetic diversity among the chickpea cultivars studied and the genetic relationship identified will be useful for chickpea breeding programs in selecting parent materials.

An experiment was conducted at Madaripur and Gazipur during rabi (winter) season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 to determine the optimum dose of B for different varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). There were 12 treatment combinations comprising three varieties (BARI Chola-5, BARI Chola-8 and BARI Chola-9) and four levels of boron (0, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg ha-1) along with a blanket dose of N20P20K25S10Zn2 kg ha-1. Boron was applied as H3BO3. Results showed BARI Chola-9 with 1.5 kg B ha-1 produced the highest seed yield of 1338 kg ha- 1 at Madaripur and 2218 kg ha-1 at Gazipur. Nodulation, nitrogen (N) and protein contents were also found highest for the same variety and B treatment. The other two varieties (BARI Chola-5 and BARI Chola-8) also performed higher yield in the plot receiving 1.5 kg B ha-1 compared to 1 kg B ha-1 or 2 kg B ha-1 at both locations. The results suggest that BARI Chola-9 and 1.5 kg B ha-1 along with N20P20K25S10Zn2 kg ha-1 could be used for achieving higher yield of chickpea in calcareous and terrace soils of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J.

A relative study of frequency and spectrum of chlorophyll mutations induced by mutagens in M2 generation was made with chickpea (Cicer arietinum (L). Variety ‘CO-4’. The treatments include different doses/concentrations of Gamma rays (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60kR) and Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mM). From the study, the overall frequencies and spectrum of five types of induced chlorophyll mutants Viridis (0.55), Xantha (0.46), Chlorina (0.45), Albina (0.43) and Tigrina (0.35) were observed. The frequency of chlorophyll mutation was increased with increasing concentrations up to a level, beyond it declined in both the mutagens. And the chlorophyll frequency was found in the order of viridis > xantha >chlorina> Albina >tigrina. The chemical mutagen, EMS was found to be more effective in inducing chlorophyll mutations than gamma rays in Chick pea.

<p>Distillery is one the major source of water pollution as its effluent contains a large quantity of nutrients and has also high<br />BOD and COD. So its disposal in water bodies and land makes it harmful for aquatic as well as terrestrial organisms and<br />vegetation. A pot experiment in which Cicer arietinum was given different doses of distillery effluent (0, 10, 25, 50, 75 and<br />100 percent) was conducted at different days (20, 40 and 60 days) and the growth parameters (root length, shoot length,<br />leaf area), total biomass of the plant and yield (seed yield and seed output) was noted. It was found that the effluent doses<br />upto 25 percent concentration increased all these parameters and afterwards decrease was noted in these parameters. The<br />economic benefit from applying the distillery effluent as liquid fertilizer to C. arietinum was found significant.</p>

The aim was to ascertain whether the process of sprouting reduced the concentration of antinutritional factors in Vigna radiata, Macrotyloma uniflorum, Vigna mungo (L) and Cicer arietinum (L) belonging to Fabaceae family. Nutrition is the most important concern in everyones diet plan and is also a need to have balanced food. Care must also be taken towards the anti-nutritional factors that inhibit the absorption of nutrients thereby decreasing the nutritional value of the food. The pulses were screened for major specific anti nutrients (tannins, phytic acid, alkaloids and cyanogenic glycosides) before and after sprouting. The process of sprouting decreased the concentration of tannins, phytic acids and cyanogenic glycosides whereas the alkaloid concentration was increased.

The radioprotective effects of an acute administration of the isoflavone genistein (4?, 5, 7-trihydroxyflavone), have been investigated in the present study. Male mice were administered with different doses (100, 200, 300, and 400 mg/kg body weight) of genistein 24 hours prior to 8 Gy gamma irradiation and the 200 mg/kg dose of genistein was determined to offer the maximum survivability and was used as an optimum dose for further experimentation. The 0.5 ml dose of genistein (200 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to 2 different groups of mice, 15 minutes and 24 hours prior to gamma irradiation. In the mice treated with genistein with the optimum dose 24 hours before irradiation, a significant increase in 30 day survival has been recorded in contrast to the mice treated with genistein 15 minutes before the irradiation. The longer survivability (i. e. 20% for a period of more than 30 days) has been observed in the 24 hour group as compared to that of 15 minutes (i. e. 20% for 22 days). Although the radioprotective effect of genistein was evident in both groups, it was of greater magnitude in the group with a longer interval, indicating thereby an efficacy with longer retention with the possible minimum toxicity, unlike hitherto known other radioprotective agents.

Aim. The aim of the research was to study the influence of salt stress on the growth and development of chickpea, whose seeds were irradiated at different doses before sowing. The physiological state of the investigated plant is evaluated on the basis of the functioning of the antioxidant enzymes of the protection system. Methods. The methods developed by Kumar, Knovles and Nakano, Assad was used to determine the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Results. It is shown that under the conditions of salt stress, antioxidant enzymes function, to some extent, interconnected and coordinated. Conclusions. It is assumed that the survival of chickpea seedlings in salt conditions is ensured by the coordinated work of the antioxidant defense system.Keywords: Cicer arietinum L., presowing seed irradiation, salt stress, antioxidant enzymes.
