Description Chickpea is an important food grain legume and an
essential component of crop rotations throughout the
world. However, the adaptation and productivity of
chickpea is often limited by low and high temperatures.
Cold stress generally occurs in the late vegetative
and reproductive stages across the geographical areas
of chickpea production. Cold and freezing temperatures
(−1.5°C to 15°C) are considered a major
problem during
the seedling stage of winter-sown
chickpea in Mediterranean areas and autumn-sown
crops in temperate regions (Singh, 1993). South
Australia and parts of north India are most affected by
chilling temperatures
at flowering (Berger et al., 2011).
On the other hand, high day and night temperatures
(>30/16°C) may cause damage during the reproductive
stage on winter-sown chickpea in Mediterranean inseason
rainfall areas, south Asia and spring-sown
regions (Berger et al., 2011). In chickpea, temperature
is a major environmental factor regulating the timing
of flowering thus influencing grain yield (Summerfield
et al., 1990; Berger et al., 2004). Both low and high temperatures
can limit the growth and grain yield of
chickpea at all phenological stages...
