Abstract

New chickpea varieties designated ‘NC-001’. ‘NC-002’, and ‘NC-004’ are chickpea varieties exhibiting stability and uniformity.

Claims (17)

1 . A chickpea seed designated as ‘NC-001’, representative sample of seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-127935.

2 . A chickpea plant produced by growing the seed of claim 1 .

3 . A plant part from the plant of claim 2 .

4 . The plant part of claim 3 , wherein said plant part is a pollen grain, ovule, protoplast, cell, embryo, cotyledon, hypocotyl, meristem, root, pistil, anther, flower, stem, pod, leaf, petiole, or a portion thereof.

5 . The plant part of claim 3 , wherein said plant part is a seed.

6 . A chickpea plant having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the chickpea plant of claim 2 .

7 . A plant part from the plant of claim 6 .

8 . The plant part of claim 7 , wherein said plant part is a pollen grain, ovule, protoplast, cell, embryo, cotyledon, hypocotyl, meristem, root, pistil, anther, flower, stem, pod, leaf, petiole, or a portion thereof.

9 . The plant part of claim 7 , wherein said plant part is a seed.

12 . A method of making chickpea seeds, said method comprising crossing the plant of claim 2 with another chickpea plant and harvesting seed therefrom.

13 . A method of making a chickpea variety designated as ‘NC-001’, said method comprising selecting seeds from the cross of one ‘NC-001’ plant with another ‘NC-001’ plant, a sample of ‘NC-001’ chickpea seed having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-127935.

14 . A method of producing a commodity plant product, comprising obtaining the plant of claim 2 or a plant part thereof and producing said commodity plant product therefrom.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the plant part is a seed.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the commodity plant product is a protein isolate, a protein concentrate, a texturized protein product, a meal, a flour, a starch, a fiber or an oil.

17 . A commodity plant product produced according to the method of claim 14 .
