The Product Catalogue is an evolving compilation of a diverse array of products derived from tangible outputs of projects supported in whole or in part by the CGIAR Generation Challenge Programme. As projects mature, more products are added. Products are listed under the specific project crop or Global. Under each crop, you will find diverse types of products, such as germplasm, markers, genomics resources and informatics applications. Global includes products applicable to several or all crops and generally includes informatics tools and learning materials. We consider all catalogued products as useful. However, our user base is highly varied and includes upstream as well as downstream plant scientists. Not all products will be of direct interest to breeders. Consequently, a BUL (Breeding Use Level) rating has been provided to indicate the direct usefulness of products to breeders:
Breeding Use Levels | |
BUL | Description |
1 | Ready to use for breeding (I.e. predictive markers, germplasm of acceptable agronomic type containing a well-defined and characterized trait, and etc.). |
2 | Qualified use for breeding (i.e germplasm in which trait genetics have not been well defined or markers that may be informative but not necessarily predictive). |
3 | Indirectly useful for breeding (i.e. genomic resources from which downstream products for breeding are developed and many informatics applications). |
4 | Not developed for breeding, per se (i.e. miscellaneous information as socio-economic reports). |

Product Number | G6010 |
Product | The chickpea genome sequence |
Crop/Area | Chickpea |
Type | Genomic Resources |
Description | The draft genome sequence of chickpea (CDC Frontier, a kabuli chickpea variety) adds to the genomic resources available for leg¬ume research. The Papilionoideae subfamily now has the draft or complete genome sequences of two model species (Medicago truncatula and Lotus japonicus) and three crop legume species (chickpea, soy¬bean and pigeonpea). The availability of these genome sequences should facilitate de novo assembly of the genomes of other important but less-studied galegoid legume crops such as pea (Pisum sativum), lentil (Lens culinaris) and faba bean (Vicia faba). |
Current Use | Assist genomics-based breeding approaches such as genotyping by sequencing, genome-wide association studies and genomic selection |
Access | Genome sequence analysis is available as an Open Access article from Nature Biotechnology (doi:10.1038/nbt.2491). Sequence data as international public good is available at NCBI under Genome: PRJNA175619 . |
