Subject Chickpea
 
Description Micropropagation is one of the most widely used tissue
culture techniques for rapid asexual in vitro propagation.
Such techniques for grain legume crops have
been rare but are of recent interest. Chickpea (Cicer
arietinum L.) is a major food legume in many countries
and is one of the most important pulse crops in
the world. A technique was standardized to propagate
chickpea and its wild relatives. A medium was developed
to induce multiple shoots from excised shoot
tips of 15-day-old aseptically raised seedlings and 30-
day-old greenhouse-grown plants. Shoot-tip explants
(2-8 cm long) of six chickpea genotypes (L 550,
K 850, ICCC 32 (ICCV 6), ICC 12237, ICCC 42, and
C 235) and four wild Cicer spp (C. bijugum No. 201,
C. cuneatum SL 157, C. judaicum No. 185, and
C. pinnatifidum. No. 188) were cultured under two
light regimes...
