Abstract
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the main sources of plant proteins in the Indian subcontinent and West Asia, where two different morphotypes, desi and kabuli, are grown. Despite the progress in genome mapping and sequencing, the knowledge of the chickpea genome at the chromosomal level, including the long-range molecular chromosome organization, is limited. Earlier cytogenetic studies in chickpea suffered from a limited number of cytogenetic landmarks and did not permit to identify individual chromosomes in the metaphase spreads or to anchor pseudomolecules to chromosomes in situ. In this study, we developed a system for fast molecular karyotyping for both morphotypes of cultivated chickpea. We demonstrate that even draft genome sequences are adequate to develop oligo-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) barcodes for the identification of chromosomes and comparative analysis among closely related chickpea genotypes. Our results show the potential of oligo-FISH barcoding for the identification of structural changes in chromosomes, which accompanied genome diversification among chickpea cultivars. Moreover, oligo-FISH barcoding in chickpea pointed out some problematic, most probably wrongly assembled regions of the pseudomolecules of both kabuli and desi reference genomes. Thus, oligo-FISH appears as a powerful tool not only for comparative karyotyping but also for the validation of genome assemblies.

Abstract
Proficiency and organization of the genetic variability in cultivated and wild relatives are pivotal for a particular crop improvement program. In the present scenario there has been noteworthy improvement in the development of novel genetic tools such as DNA or molecular markers and genetic maps profiling techniques. In this study, seven chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes including some cultivars were considered (Collection Id of the seven genotypes are TZCP-1, TZCP-2, TZCP-3, TZCP-4, TZCP-5, TZCP-6 and TZCP-7). The experiment was conducted out in Random Complete Block Design (RCBD) having three replications. All the quantitative characters were collected for assessing the diversity and to find key characters in chickpea cultivars. The statistical analysis was done for all the quantitative character (viz. plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pod per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight, seed length, seed width, days to 50% flowering, days to 50% maturity and grain yield). Analysis of variance divulged significant differences among the genotypes for all the 10 characters. An extensive range of diversity was displayed by most of the characters under study. The magnitude of phenotypic coefficient of variation (1.23% - 33.71%) in the present study was slightly wider than genotypic coefficient of variation (1.13% - 33.02%) suggesting that environmental factors have high contribution to the observed variation among chickpea accessions. The first four PC axes from the principal component analysis accounted for 91.63% of the multivariate variation among entries indicating a moderate degree of correlation among characters for these entries. The genotypic data generated through RAPD profiling of seven chickpea genotypes were used to study genetic diversity or interrelationship. The pair wise Jaccard’s similarity coefficient ranged from 0.47 (TZCP-3 and TZCP-5) to 0.87 (TZCP-2 and TZCP-4). Finally, this research work helped with the analysis of genetic diversity in chickpea by using different approaches such as morphological and molecular marker system.

Abstract
The exploitation of DNA polymorphisms by an ever-increasing number of molecular marker technologies has begun to have an impact on plant genome research and breeding. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms, micro- and mini-satellites and PCR-based approaches are used to determine inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity and construct molecular maps of crops using specially designed mapping populations. Resistance genes and other agronomically important loci are tagged with tightly linked DNA markers and the genes isolated by magabase DNA technology and cloning into yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC). This review discusses some recent developments and results in this field.

Abstract
Well-saturated linkage maps especially those based on expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived genic molecular markers (GMMs) are a pre-requisite for molecular breeding. This is especially true in important legumes such as chickpea where few simple sequence repeats (SSR) and even fewer GMM-based maps have been developed. Therefore, in this study, 2,496 ESTs were generated from chickpea seeds and utilized for the development of 487 novel EST-derived functional markers which included 125 EST-SSRs, 151 intron targeted primers (ITPs), 109 expressed sequence tag polymorphisms (ESTPs), and 102 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Whereas ESTSSRs, ITPs, and ESTPs were developed by in silico analysis of the developed EST sequences, SNPs were identified by allele resequencing and their genotyping was performedusing the Illumina GoldenGate Assay. Parental polymorphism was analyzed between C. arietinum ICC4958 and C. reticulatum PI489777, parents of the reference chickpea mapping population, using a total of 872 markers: 487 new gene-based markers developed in this study along with 385 previously published markers, of which 318 (36.5%) were found to be polymorphic and were used for genotyping. The genotypic data were integrated with the previously published data of 108 markers and an advanced linkage map was generated that contained 406 loci distributed on eight linkage groups that spanned 1,497.7 cM. The average marker density was 3.68 cM and the average number of markers per LG was 50.8. Among the mapped markers, 303 new genomic locations were defined that included 177 gene-based and 126 gSSRs (genomic SSRs) thereby producing the most advanced gene-rich map of chickpea solely based on co-dominant markers.

Abstract
Large-insert bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries, plant-transformation-competent binary BAC (BIBAC) libraries, and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are essential for many aspects of genomics research. We constructed a BAC library and a BIBAC library from the nuclear DNA of chickpea, Cicer arietinum L., cv. Hadas, partially digested with HindIII and BamHI, respectively. The BAC library has 14,976 clones, with an average insert size of 121 kb, and the BIBAC library consists of 23,040 clones, with an average insert size of 145 kb. The combined libraries collectively cover ca. 7.0 x genomes of chickpea. We screened the BAC library with eight synthetic SSR oligos, (GA)10, (GAA)7, (AT)10, (TAA)7, (TGA)7, (CA)10, (CAA)7, and (CCA)7. Positive BACs were selected, subcloned, and sequenced for SSR marker development. Two hundred and thirty-three new chickpea SSR markers were developed and characterized by PCR, using chickpea DNA as template. These results have demonstrated that BACs are an excellent source for SSR marker development in chickpea. We also estimated the distribution of the SSR loci in the chickpea genome. The SSR motifs (TAA)n and (GA)n were much more abundant than the others, and the distribution of the SSR loci appeared non-random. The BAC and BIBAC libraries and new SSR markers will provide valuable resources for chickpea genomics research and breeding (the libraries and their filters are available to the public at http://hbz.tamu.edu).

Abstract
AFLP markers were used to assess genetic relationships among Cicer species with distribution in Turkey. Genetic distances were computed among 47 Cicer accessions representing four perennial and six annual species including chickpea, using 306 positions on AFLP gels. AFLP-based grouping of species revealed two clusters, one of which includes three perennial species, Cicer montbretii, Cicer isauricum and Cicer anatolicum, while the other cluster consists of two subclusters, one including one perennial, Cicer incisum, along with three annuals from the second crossability group ( Cicer pinnatifidum, Cicer judaicum and Cicer bijugum) and the other one comprising three annuals from the first crossability group ( Cicer echinospermum, Cicer reticulatum and Cicer arietinum). Consistent with previous relationship studies in the same accession set using allozyme and RAPD markers, in AFLP-based relationships, C. incisum was the closest perennial to nearly all annuals, and C. reticulatum was the closest wild species to C. arietinum. Cluster analysis revealed the grouping of all accessions into their distinct species-clusters except for C. reticulatum accessions, ILWC247, ILWC242 and TR54961; the former was found to be closer to the C. arietinum accessions while the latter two clustered with the C. echinospermum group. Small genetic distance values were detected among C. reticulatum accessions (0.282) and between C. reticulatum and C. arietinum (0.301) indicating a close genetic similarity between these two species. Overall, the AFLP-based genetic relationships among accessions and species were congruous with our previous study of genetic relationships using allozymes. The computed level of AFLP variation and its distribution into within and between Cicer species paralleled the previous report based on RAPD analyses. AFLP analysis also confirmed the presence of the closest wild relatives and previous projections of the origin of chickpea in southern Turkey. Results presented in this report indicate that AFLP analysis is an efficient and reliable marker technology in determination of genetic variation and relationships in the genus Cicer. Obviously, the use of AFLP fingerprinting in constructing a detailed genetic map of chickpea and cloning, and characterizing economically important traits would be promising as well.

Abstract
An intraspecific linkage map of the chickpea genome based on STMS as anchor markers, was established using an F(2) population of chickpea cultivars with contrasting disease reactions to Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. At a LOD-score of 2.0 and a maximum recombination distance of 20 cM, 51 out of 54 chickpea-STMS markers (94.4%), three ISSR markers (100%) and 12 RGA markers (57.1%) were mapped into eight linkage groups. The chickpea-derived STMS markers were distributed throughout the genome, while the RGA markers clustered with the ISSR markers on linkage groups LG I, II and III. The intraspecific linkage map spanned 534.5 cM with an average interval of 8.1 cM between markers. Sixteen markers (19.5%) were unlinked, while l1 chickpea-STMS markers (20.4%) deviated significantly ( P < 0.05) from the expected Mendelian segregation ratio and segregated in favor of the maternal alleles. However, ten of the distorted chickpea-STMS markers were mapped and clustered mostly on LG VII, suggesting the association of these loci in the preferential transmission of the maternal germ line. Preliminary comparative mapping revealed that chickpea may have evolved from Cicer reticulatum, possibly via inversion of DNA sequences and minor chromosomal translocation. At least three linkage groups that spanned a total of approximately 79.2 cM were conserved in the speciation process.

Abstract
Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed for cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) from the DNA sequences of 970 clones isolated from genomic DNA libraries enriched for (CA)n,, (CT)n, (CAA)n, (CATA)n, or (GATA)n. The clones harbored 632 SSRs, of which 259 were unique. SSR markers were developed for 130 unique SSRs by designing and testing primers for 171 unique SSRs. Of the total, 74 SSR markers were polymorphic when screened for length polymorphisms among 16 elite inbred lines. The mean number of alleles per locus was 3.7 for dinucleotide, 3.6 for trinucleotide, and 9.5 for tetranucleotide repeats and the mean polymorphic information content (PIC) scores were 0.53 for dinucleotide, 0.53 for trinucleotide, and 0.83 for tetranucleotide repeats. Cluster analyses uncovered patterns of genetic diversity concordant with patterns produced by RFLP fingerprinting. SSRs were found to be slightly more polymorphic than RFLPs. Several individual SSRs were significantly more polymorphic than RFLP and other DNA markers in sunflower (20% of the polymorphic SSR markers had PIC scores ranging from 0.70 to 0.93). The newly developed SSRs greatly increase the supply of sequence-based DNA markers for DNA fingerprinting, genetic mapping, and molecular breeding in sunflower; however, several hundred additional SSR markers are needed to routinely construct complete genetic maps and saturate the genome.

Abstract
Two small-insert genomic libraries of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were screened with a set of microsatellite-specific oligonucleotide probes. A total of 121 positive clones were identified among 13 000 plated colonies. Thirty-nine clones were recognized by (TAA)5, 26 by (GA)8, 18 by (GT)8, 27 by a pool of AT-rich trinucleotide repeats [(CAA)5, (CAT)5, and (GAA)5], and 11 by a pool of GC-rich trinucleotides [(TCC)5, (CAC)5, (CAG)5, and (CGA)5]. Of 53 clones selected for sequencing, 43 carried a microsatellite. Flanking primer pairs were designed for 28 loci, and used on a small test-set comprising one C. reticulatum and four C. arietinum accessions. Separation of the PCR products on agarose or polyacrylamide gels revealed single bands of the expected size with 22 of the primer pairs. Sixteen of these "Cicer arietinum sequence-tagged microsatellite site" (CaSTMS) markers were polymorphic at an intraspecific level, detecting 2-4 alleles within the four accessions examined. Primer pairs CaSTMS10 and CaSTMS15 revealed 25 and 16 alleles among 63 C. arietinum accessions from different geographic locations, reflecting gene diversity values of 0.937 and 0.922, respectively. Mendelian inheritance of CaSTMS markers was demonstrated using a set of recombinant inbred lines and their parents.Key words: chickpea, molecular markers, STMS, microsatellites, DNA polymorphism.

Abstract
We used fluorescence in situ hybridization to probe the physical organization of five simple sequence repeat motifs and the Arabidopsis-type telomeric repeat in metaphase chromosomes and interphase nuclei of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Hybridization signals were observed with the whole set of probes and on all chromosomes, but the distribution and intensity of signals varied depending on the motif. On root-tip metaphase chromosomes, CA and GATA repeats were mainly restricted to centromeric areas, with additional GATA signals along some chromosomes. TA, A and AAC repeats were organized in a more dispersed manner, with centromeric regions being largely excluded. In interphase nuclei of the inner integument, CA and GATA signals predominantly occurred in the heterochromatic endochromocentres, whereas the other motifs were found both in eu- and heterochromatin. The distribution of the Arabidopsis-type telomeric repeat (TTTAGGG)n on metaphase chromosomes was found to be quite exceptional. One major cluster of repeats was spread along the short arm of chromosome B, whereas a second, weaker signal occurred interstitially on chromosome A. Only faint and inconsistent hybridization signals were visualized with the same probe at the chromosomal termini.

Abstract
The vast majority of perennial plants reproduce sexually and vegetatively at the same time. This may lead to important variation among clonal plant populations in their amount of genotypic diversity. In order to verify this assumption, we compare the clonal diversity of 10 natural populations of the aquatic clonal macrophyte Sparganium erectum in France. Diversity was quantified by DNA fingerprinting and allozyme electrophoresis for a sample of 10 shoots per population. Two DNA probes (CA)8 and (TAA)6TA, were selected among 10 synthetic oligonucleotide probes containing simple repeat motifs. Both allozymes and DNA fingerprints revealed different amounts of diversity among populations. Five populations consist of a single genotype, whereas two populations were genetically highly diverse. In four of the monomorphic populations, absence of fingerprints diversity was combined with uniformly heterozygous allozyme loci, suggesting that each population was composed of a single clone. In the highly diverse populations, the level of clonal diversity combined with the allele segregation of the two allozyme loci Lap and Est suggests frequent seedling recruitment. The origin of new genotypes remains unclear but the absence of widespread genotypes together with the discrete distribution of Sparganium erectum populations implies that new genotypes are locally produced through sexual reproduction.

Abstract
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are a relatively new class of DNA markers consisting of short runs of tandemly repeated sequence motifs evenly distributed throughout eukaryotic genomes. Owing to the high rate of variation in the number of repeat units, the polymorphism level shown by SSRs is high. Furthermore, they are easy to analyze by means of the polymerase chain reaction, using flanking unique sequence primers. In order to establish the utility of SSR markers for genetic mapping and for the analysis of corn germplasm, corn genomic libraries were constructed and screened for clones containing dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats. One hundred and fifty clones were isolated and 34 of them were used in this study to analyze 15 (AG)n repeats, 15 (AC)n repeats, and 4 trinucleotide repeats. Twelve corn inbred lines, representing 87% of the RFLP alleles present in a collection of public corn cultivars, were used to assess the information content of the SSR markers. The expected heterozygosity of each SSR marker was compared with the expected heterozygosity of 100 different RFLP markers. The stability of SSRs was also tested through segregation analysis on an existing mapping population.

Abstract
The broad use of microsatellites as a tool for constructing linkage maps in plants has been limited by the need for sequence data to detect the underlying simple sequence repeats. Therefore, random amplified microsatellite polymorphisms (RAMPs) were studied as an alternative approach for barely mapping. Labelled (GA)n simple sequence repeat primers were combined with RAPD primers of different length and sequence to generate RAMPs. To get additional polymorphisms (called dRAMPs), the obtained products were also analysed after digestion with MseI. There were 0-11 polymorphisms found per primer combination. Sixty RAMPs/dRAMPs identifying 40 new loci were mapped onto a barley RFLP map. The new DNA markers are found on all chromosomes and they increased the length of the barely map by 174 cM to a total of 1270 cM. Interestingly, the RAMPs/dRAMPs caused stretching effects in genome areas where stretching was also observed for AFLPs.

Abstract
The genetic variability in the Brassica juncea cultivars was detected by employing in-gel hybridization of restricted DNA to simple repetitive sequences such as (GATA)4, (GACA)4 and (CAC)5. The most informative probe/enzyme combination was (GATA)4/EcoRI, yielding highly polymorphic fingerprint patterns for the B. juncea cultivars. This technique was found to be dependable for establishing the variety specific patterns for most of the cultivars studied, a prerequisite for germplasm preservation. The results of the present study were compared with those reported in our earlier study in which random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used for assessing the genetic variability in the B. juncea cultivars.

Abstract
The genetic variability in agronomically important chickpea accessions (Cicer arietinum L.) as detected by single-locus restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) probes, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and isoenzyme markers, is rather low. Recently, highly polymorphic microsatellites became the markers of choice for linkage mapping and population studies. We are currently following two main strategies to exploit the variability of microsatellites and adjacent sequences for genetic studies in chickpea. (i) In an approach referred to as oligonucleotide fingerprinting, microsatellite-complementary oligonucleotides were employed as multilocus probes for in-gel hybridization. A total of 38 different probes representing di-, tri- and tetranucleotide repeats were used to analyze variability between and within four accessions of C. arietinum. Hybridization signals were obtained with 35 probes. While the abundance and level of polymorphism of different target sequences varied considerably, distinct, intraspecifically informative banding patterns were obtained with the majority of probes and all restriction enzymes tested. No obvious correlation existed between abundance, fingerprint quality, and sequence characteristics of a particular motif. (ii) In a recently developed strategy called microsatellite primed polymerase chain reaction (MP-PCR), microsatellite-complementary oligonucleotides serve as single PCR primers for genomic DNA templates. We tested the general applicability of MP-PCR by amplifying DNA samples from tomato, chickpea and two related annual Cicer species with a variety of di-, tri- and tetranucleotide repeat primers. Most but not all primers generated distinct fingerprint-like banding patterns after agarose gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining of the amplification products. Since the method proved to be sensitive to reaction conditions in a way similar to RAPD analysis, we increased the PCR specificity by the introduction of a modified "touch-down" protocol. In chickpea, touch-down MP-PCR generated highly reproducible banding patterns which predominantly revealed interspecific polymorphisms. The potential of different microsatellite-based strategies for genome analysis in chickpea is discussed.
