Abstract
Abstract—The seed bank of the Vavilov All-Russia Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) contains a wide range of landraces that were collected almost 100 years ago, in which natural selection might leave signatures through crop diversification. In this study, we analyzed 407 landraces sampled at centers of the origin of the chickpea and at sites of secondary diversity. We hypothesize that a fraction of single nucleotide polymorphisms might have exhibited strong selection to a range of environmental conditions that chickpea experienced during domestication and subsequent geographic distribution. Using the BayPass package we identified 13 polymorphisms; these assort by environmental conditions and are strong candidates for local adaptation.
