Variety Anza+2ns showed promising results by the presence of three Lr genes (Lr10, Lr26 and Lr47) surely recommended for crop improvement and/or direct utility at farmers field.

The plant growth regulators were added into MS, MS + 2,4-D (1.5 mg/l, 2.5 mg/l, 3.5 mg/L, and 4.5 mg/l) and MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA + 1.0 mg/l ZT, MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA + 1.0 mg/l KT, MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA + 1.0 mg/l 6-BA and MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA. The leaves were treated as broken and cultured on these nine different media types. Results showed significant differences in color, morphology, and callus quantity. In the first medium, the callus of rose leaves was the best on MS + 4.5 mg/l 2,4-D medium, followed by MS + 2.5 mg/l 2,4-D and MS + 3.5 mg/l 2,4-D, and finally MS + 1.5 mg/l 2,4-D. No callus was found in MS medium. In the second kind of medium, the leaves grow callus, and the callus grew best on MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA + 1.0 mg/l ZT medium, followed by MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA + 1.0 mg/l KT, finally MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA + 1.0 mg/l 6-BA, MS + 2.0 mg/l NAA medium, the callus grew loose and dry, and lost luster after a few days. Therefore, 2,4-D, KT, ZT, 6-BA, and NAA can promote the formation of callus. With the increase of concentration of 2,4-D, the callus induction rate increased, and the color of the callus also changed significantly. The combination of KT, ZT, and NAA had an obvious effect on callus induction and expansion. Bangladesh J.

Additionally, primary root length was positively correlated with shoot length and the number of root branches at all three seedling growth stages. The findings suggest that early shoot length and seedling root length, particularly more secondary root branches, are crucial traits that should be incorporated into chickpea breeding programs to develop new elite cultivars with improved yield potential, better resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and enhanced crop productivity.
