Book cover Recent Approaches in Omics for Plant Resilience to Climate Change

Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a highly rich source of protein and is documented as the second most valuable food legume worldwide. In rain-fed areas, the chickpea productivity is strictly threatened by abiotic stress; notably among them is terminal drought stress. Drought stress causes reduction in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance that leads to the biosynthesis of ABA. Consequently, the plant faces oxidative stress, which is produced by ROS: H2O2, O2−, O−, and HO−. As a result, the plant defense system is activated in the form of antioxidants (CAT, APX, POD, etc.) and scavengers (e.g., proline). In this scenario, the integration of conventional breeding with omics approaches is the ideal approach to increase the worth of the breeding program. The breeding program based on omics approaches, that is, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, ionomics, and phenomics, is the quickest and efficient way to develop drought-tolerant chickpea accessions. Moreover, the availability of high-throughput sequencing tools accelerates the working efficiency and quality of these omics approaches. Drought-responsive genes, regulatory TFs, and metabolic pathways can be identified through RNA-Seq. The worth and efficiency of the breeding program will be increased by exploiting the omics-based breeding strategies in chickpea against drought stress.
