The disease resistance genes are also present in the genome of the chickpea plant. The presence of these genes enhances disease and pest resistance in chickpea. Based on this genome sequence project, over 187 disease resistance gene homologs were identified. However, this number is low as compared to the number of disease resistance gene homologs in other legumes whose genomes have been sequenced previously. Chickpea genome has over 80,000 simple sequence repeats (SSR) and the SNP markers. These markers are significant targets for polymerase based analysis of chickpea legume such as polymerase chain reaction processes (Upadhyaya et al. 2012, pp51-56).
