Title Relationships of Pinnate (Fern) and Simple (Unifoliate) Leaf Traits with Seed Yield and Seed Size in Kabuli Chickpea

Description Chickpea typically has pinnate type of compound leaves
in which the leaf lamina (blade) is differentiated into a
rachis and a number of leaflets. These leaflets are generally
odd in number and borne directly on the rachis. Mutants
have been identified that have simple (unifoliate) leaves
in which the lamina is not differentiated into rachis and
leaflets, though there may be deep incisions in the lamina.
A single recessive gene is known to control the simple
leaf trait (Pundir et al. 1990). Most chickpea cultivars
released in different countries have normal pinnate leaves.
The simple leaf mutants have also been exploited in
chickpea breeding and some cultivars, mainly kabuli type,
with simple leaves have been released, e.g. Surutato 77
and Macarena in Mexico; Dwelley, Sanford, Evans and
Sierra in USA; and CDC Diva and CDC Xena in Canada
(FJ Muehlbauer, personal communication; Warkentin et
al. 2003).
