    Interspecific hybridization using cicer microphyllum royle ex benth. for the genomic reconstruction of cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
    (Springer Nature Publishing AG, 2026) Kumari, Pummi; Singh, Mohar; Gayacharan; Shivam; Parida, Swarup K.
    Cicer microphyllum, native to cold and arid regions, offers a reservoir of beneficial alleles, including tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. It is a wild Cicer species from the tertiary gene pool of the cultivated chickpea. It has the potential to enhance the genetic base of cultivated species and provide useful genetic variability for crop improvement. Despite significant reproductive barriers, advancements in hybridization techniques and genomic tools have facilitated the development of viable hybrids between C. arietinum and C. microphyllum. The genomic reconstruction of the cultivated chickpea through the transfer of wild relative's genomic segments using backcrossing and molecular marker-assisted selection will help sustainable crop improvement and genetic gains.

    Rice bean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi & Ohashi)
    (CABI, 2024) Gayacharan; Parida, Swarup K.; Singh, Amit Kumar; Chattopadhyay, Debashish; Joshi, D.C.; Katna, Gopal
    Rice bean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi & Ohashi) is a legume crop widely distributed throughout South and South-east Asia, and other parts of the world. It is a nutritionally rich legume crop and plays a crucial role in securing food and nutritional requirements in traditional farming systems. Its grains are a rich source of quality protein (18–32%) and minerals such as Ca (68–230 mg/100 g), P (209–370 mg/100 g), Mg (9–16 mg/100 g), K (8–1122 mg/100 g) and Fe (2.61–6.4 mg/100 g). Rice bean grain contains vitamins such as thiamine (0.5–1.09 mg), riboflavin (0.18–0.5 mg) and niacin (2.0–3.6 mg). The crop is grown in diverse agro-climatic conditions by diverse ethnic groups for food, fodder, cover crop, living hedges, etc. More importantly, the species is relatively free from pests and diseases. Therefore, it is being utilized as a donor species in pre-breeding programmes for trait introgression and genetic base broadening of V. radiata, V. mungo and V. angularis. Even though the crop has several beneficial traits and plays a crucial role in local nutritional and food security, rice bean improvement has been relatively inadequate. Therefore, the crop remains an orphan legume, and the area under crop production has continued to decline amid competition from more profitable similar crops such as mung bean, urd bean and cowpea. Nevertheless, a substantial amount of rice bean crop diversity has been collected and conserved to avoid any risk of losing it. National and international project-based initiatives are reviving, improving and introducing crop cultivation in its original habitats and new areas. Recently, significant genetic and genomic resources have been generated, which will help in crop improvement programmes.

    CLAVATA signaling pathway receptors modulate developmental traits and stress responses in crops
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022) Basu, Udita; Parida, Swarup K.
    The CLAVATA signaling pathway is one of the most important signaling components in the plant system. The CLE peptides and their receptors play crucial roles in various aspects of plant development and stress responses. The most common receptor types of this signaling system include the leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-receptor-like kinases like the CLAVATA1, BAM receptors, RPK2, and CIKs and the LRR-RLPs like the CLV2 and its coreceptors. The most notable role of the CLAVATA receptors is in meristematic cell maintenance in root and shoot. Their role is well studied in legumes for autoregulation of nodulation and a similar role has been observed in mycorrhizal symbiotic relation establishment and regulation. The CLAVATA receptors are also involved in both biotic and abiotic stress perception and responses in crops. The signaling pathway and its receptors have enormous potential for utilization in crop improvement endeavors. Understanding their role in signal regulation will help in developing better-performing customized crops.
