This analysis demonstrates the impact of biofertilizers on nodulation in chickpea, suggesting genome editing can enhance nitrogen fixation.

NPK combined with Rhizobium significantly improved nodulation traits in chickpea genotypes, indicating effective symbiotic relationships.
Gene expression profiling showed that CaNFP was highly upregulated, highlighting its crucial role in enhancing nodulation and nitrogen fixation.
By selecting superior genotypes like ICC-9085, farmers can achieve sustainable chickpea productivity through integrated microbial treatments.
Employing genome editing tools like CRISPR/Cas on the CaNFP gene has the potential to develop elite chickpea cultivars for improved agricultural practices.

Mahto et al. (2025) studied this question.
