Dissection of genomic regions underlying early seedling vigour in chickpea through genome-wide association mapping.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the most important pulse in India and one of the most important worldwide. In order to increase the chickpea production area, the rainfed rice fallows are being targeted to adopt rice-chickpea cropping system. Early seedling vigour (ESV) is an important trait which enables the crop to have better germination, crop stand, utilization of residual soil moisture, faster biomass accumulation and better root growth under poor soil structure. Till date there has been no work done regarding the mapping of genomic regions controlling ESV in chickpea.
resultsWe conducted a genome-wide association study taking 13 traits related to ESV in a diverse panel of the reference set of ICRISAT. GWAS was conducted using FarmCPU and BLINK model and a total of 34 marker-trait associations (MTAs) were identified. We were able to identify putative 36 candidate genes linked to the MTAs such as Lateral Root Primordium 1, Auxin-Induced Protein 22D-Like, Transcription factor MYB3-like etc. Most of these genes are involved in primary and lateral root formation, development of meristem, hormone signaling and germination that ultimately regulate the seedling vigour in chickpea.
conclusionOur findings have identified substantial genetic variability for early seedling vigour traits in chickpea. Phenotypic screening has enabled to identification of highly vigorous genotypes like ICC15567, ICC8318. We also reported novel MTAs linked to ESV traits in chickpea, which can be further validated using functional genomic studies. The findings of this study will help in further understanding of ESV as a trait and the development of early vigorous chickpea varieties in future.
