Kabuli chickpea seed quality diversity and preliminary genome‐wide association study identifies markers and potential candidate genes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Malnutrition due to macro‐ and micro‐nutrient deficiencies is one of the major global health concerns, especially in developing countries. Using genomics‐assisted breeding to enhance the nutritional value of important crops such as chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) can help to address the problem. In this study, we conducted genome‐wide association studies to identify genes associated with protein, starch, oil, and fiber in chickpea to create resources to speed the breeding process. The USDA kabuli chickpea mini‐core of 88 accessions was genotyped using genotyped‐by‐sequencing, and 36,645 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified across the eight chromosomes of the chickpea genome. A genome‐wide marker‐trait analysis using the FarmCPU model was conducted to identify SNP markers that can enable marker‐assisted breeding for seed protein, fiber, oil, and starch concentrations. The most significantly associated markers for seed protein concentration ( p = 8.82E‐12), starch ( p = 2.79E‐12), fiber ( p = 7.65E‐12), and oil ( p = 1.37E‐08) were found on chromosomes 1, 2, 6, and 7, controlling 11%, 12%, 20%, and 16% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. Validation of the SNP markers in a broader set of plant genetic resources and environments will be needed to determine their usefulness in breeding for end‐use characteristics.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
