Developing nutrient‐rich crop cultivars is the most economic strategy to combat malnutrition resulting from protein and mineral deficiencies. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important staple grain legume source of good quality dietary protein around the world, particularly in southern Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. In the present investigation, the genetic variability for protein and mineral concentrations was studied in 41 accessions of cultivated chickpea and eight annual wild Cicer species of primary, secondary, and tertiary gene pool. Large variability was observed between and within Cicer species for seed protein, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, and Mg concentration with high heritability. C. chorassanicum (Bunge) Popov was found to be the most promising species for high seed protein and Ca; C. judaicum Boiss. for high seed Fe, Cu. and Mg; C. yamashiatae Kitam. for high seed Zn and Fe; and C. pinnatifidum Jaub. & Spach for high seed Mn concentrations. All the wild Cicer accessions except ICC20190 (C. echinospermum P. H. Davis) had high concentration of at least one or more seed nutrients. Wild Cicer accessions such as ICC17141 (C. chorassanicum), ICC17269 and ICC17303 (both C. pinnatifidum), ICC17261 and ICC17262 (C. reticulatum), ICC20236 (C. chorassanicum), and ICC17117 and ICC17281 (C. yamashitae) were found promising for multiple seed nutrients. As C. reticulatum Ladiz. and C. echinospremum accessions are crossable with cultivated chickpea, promising C. reticulatum accessions identified in the present study can be used in crossing program for developing new nutrient‐rich chickpea cultivars.

一年生野生柑橘属植物种子蛋白和矿物质浓度的表征和鉴定，可改善鹰嘴豆

发展营养丰富的农作物品种是对抗蛋白质和矿物质缺乏造成的营养不良的最经济策略。鹰嘴豆（Cicer arietinum L.）是全世界重要的豆类主食豆类优质食品蛋白质来源，尤其是在南亚，北非和中东。在本次调查中，研究了41种栽培鹰嘴豆和8种一年生野生Cicer物种一级，二级和三级基因库中蛋白质和矿物质浓度的遗传变异性。在Cicer物种之间和内部，种子蛋白，Fe，Zn，Cu，Mn，Ca和Mg的浓度具有很高的遗传力，且变异性很高。C. chorassanicum（蹦极）波波夫被认为是高种子蛋白和钙的最有前途的物种。C. judaicum Boiss。用于高种子铁，铜。和镁；C. yamashiatae Kitam。用于高种子锌和铁；和C. pinnatifidum Jaub。＆Spach用于高种子锰浓度。所有野生鹰嘴豆除了ICC20190种质（C. echinospermum PH戴维斯）具有至少一个或多个种子的营养物质的高浓度。野生鹰嘴豆种质如ICC17141（C. chorassanicum），ICC17269和ICC17303（均为C. pinnatifidum），ICC17261和ICC17262（C.网藻），ICC20236（C. chorassanicum），发现ICC17117和ICC17281（C. yamashitae）具有多种种子营养的前景。作为网纹拉迪丝。和C. echinospremum种质是可杂交培育与鹰嘴豆，看好C.网藻在本研究中鉴定种质可以跨越计划开发新的营养丰富的鹰嘴豆品种中。
