The chickpea or chick pea (Cicer arietinum) is an annual legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, [2] [3] cultivated for its edible seeds. Its different types are variously known as gram [ 4 ] [ 5 ] or Bengal gram ; [ 5 ] chhola , chhana , chana , or channa ; garbanzo [ 5 ] or garbanzo bean ; or Egyptian pea . [ 4 ]
Currently, only one species of Cicer, the modern chickpea, is domesticated as a cultivar, but there are many other options researchers are considering for further domestication and expansion into perennial crops. One of the most promising options that could lead to the expansion into perennial crops is hybridization between annual and perennial ...
It includes trees, shrubs, and perennial or annual herbaceous plants, which are easily recognized by their fruit and their compound, stipulate leaves. The family is widely distributed, and is the third-largest land plant family in number of species, behind only the Orchidaceae and Asteraceae , with about 765 genera and nearly 20,000 known species.
Lathyrus sativus, also known as grass pea, cicerchia, blue sweet pea, chickling pea, chickling vetch, Indian pea, [2] white pea [3] and white vetch, [4] is a legume (family Fabaceae) commonly grown for human consumption and livestock feed in Asia and East Africa. [5]
Legume-based feeds improve animal performance over a diet of perennial grasses. Factors include larger consumption, faster digestion, and higher feed conversion rate. [30] The type of crop grown for animal rearing depends on the farming system.
D. rabiei is known for infecting cultivated annual chickpea (Cicer arietinum), [8] but also commonly infects other wild perennial chickpea species such as Cicer monbretti, Cicer ervoides, [1] Cicer judaicum, [9] and Cicer pinnatifidum. [10] Other host species include: dog fennel (Anthemis cotula) [1] alfalfa (Medicago sativa) [8] pea (Pisum ...
