Thesis title: A comparative MS-based investigation to characterize the protein fraction of two chickpea genotypes subjected to different environmental and agronomic conditions
Keywords: Mass Spectrometry, Proteomics, Cicer arietinum L., Label-Free Quantification
Abstract: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the third most important legume crop in the world. Up to date, comprehensive studies on agronomic and genetic influences on chickpea protein composition are lacking. Therefore, the aim of the thesis is the development of proteomic approaches to investigate the qualitative and quantitative changes in the protein composition of two chickpea genotype namely Pascià and Sultano grown under different environmental and agronomic conditions.
