The cladistic analysis of the DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal cistrons (ITS1 and ITS2) for 20 species of Cicer L. (among which all the annuals), shows that various sections of the genus are not monophyletic. Annual species do not form a clade: C. arietinum, in fact, is closely related to both C. echinospermum and C. reticulatum, whereas C. bijugum, C. judaicum, and C. pinnatifidum form a separate clade. The annual C. cuneatum is sister group to the perennial C. canariense and both are archaic species within the genus. C. yamashitae is, on the contrary, the only annual species belonging to a group of perennials, within which close relationships are evident between C. graecum and C. montbretii as well as among a group of mainly Asian species.

Keywords: DNA sequences; ribosomal cistrons
Subjects: chickpea, phylogeny; Cicer arietinum; Cicer, 20 species; dendrogram, cladogram, phenogram, phylogenetic tree; DNA sequences, genus Cicer; inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR); randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD); ribosomal cistrons
