Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crop as a protein source across the
world. It is mostly grown on arid and marginal lands where it faces drought stress at different …

Chickpea is the second most important legume crop largely grown under semi-arid tropics
where terminal drought is one of the major constraints for its productivity. A trait-based …

Drought is the most common abiotic stress limiting chickpea production in the world. Ninety
percent of the world's chickpea is produced in areas relying upon conserved, receding soil …

Key message Analysis of phenotypic data for 20 drought tolerance traits in 1–7 seasons at 1–
5 locations together with genetic mapping data for two mapping populations provided 9 QTL …

Extreme climatic conditions like heat waves, dry spell, sustained drought and precipitation
adversely reducing the crop productivity and these are considered as an alarming issue for …

Elucidation of the genetic basis of drought tolerance is vital for genomics-assisted breeding
of drought tolerant crop varieties. Here, we used genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) to identify …

Drought is a severe constraint for chickpea productivity across the globe. In Pakistan, it is
primarily cultivated in drought-prone regions and marginal lands where moisture stress is a …

Chickpea is mainly grown on marginal lands across the Pakistan where it has to face the
problem of water shortage due to erratic water availability. For improvement of chickpea …

Crop drought tolerance improvement is one of the most challenging objectives of plant
breeding programs. Developing an efficient screening technology and access to genetic …

Chickpea yield is severely affected by drought stress, which is a complex quantitative trait
regulated by multiple small-effect genes. Identifying genomic regions associated with …
