Breeding Chickpea for Climate Resilience: An Overview

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Developing Climate Resilient Grain and Forage Legumes

Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important food legume that plays a critical role in ensuring the food and nutritional security of resource-poor smallholder farmers. However, chickpea production is seriously constrained by various climate-induced stresses, such as drought, heat, cold, salinity, diseases and insect pests. These factors often affect the crop independently or in combinations to severely impact chickpea yields. Intensive breeding efforts made during the past few years have led to the development of elite chickpea cultivars with tolerance to key abiotic and biotic stresses; still, there is enough scope to improve productivity. Furthermore, enhancement of genetic gains in chickpea breeding requires integration of rapid generation advancement, genomics-assisted breeding, high-throughput and precise phenotyping and application of novel breeding approaches to harness the favourable alleles in the modern cultivars tolerant to single or multiple stresses leading to the accelerated replacement of climate-vulnerable cultivars with superior varieties that can sustain production under changing climates.
