The concentration of genes that control domestication traits in so-called “agroislands” complicates breeding. Therefore, information about where such islands are located in the genome and with what traits of domestication they are associated is of great importance for further research aimed at improving modern varieties. In the search for such information in the genomes of chickpea landraces, the BayPass program was used to assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms with population-specific covariates chosen as complexes of domestication syndrome traits in cultivars of the same breeding purpose. The regions of the genome with which these covariates are associated are located on chromosomes 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8. These regions are potential agroislands, as indirectly confirmed by earlier data.

在所谓的“农业岛屿”中控制驯化性状的基因的浓度使育种复杂化。因此，关于这些岛屿在基因组中的位置以及它们与哪些驯化特征相关的信息对于旨在改进现代品种的进一步研究非常重要。在鹰嘴豆地方品种基因组中寻找此类信息时，BayPass 程序用于评估单核苷酸多态性与群体特异性协变量的关联，这些协变量被选为具有相同育种目的的栽培品种的驯化综合征性状复合体。与这些协变量相关的基因组区域位于 1、5、6、7 和 8 号染色体上。这些区域是潜在的农业岛，早期数据间接证实了这一点。
