Subject Chickpea
 
Description Chickpea, the third most important pulse crop, includes forty-three species, eight of
which are annuals. It is used as a complement to cereal food and as snack food and sweets.
Major loss in yield of chickpea is due to biotic stress (Ascochyta blight and fusarium wilt),
abiotic stress (moisture stress, heat, cold) and also due to poor nutritional status of the soil
and use of marginal lands. Early harvesting of chickpea as a result of reduced crop duration
helps in avoiding most of the biotic and abiotic stresses which usually occur at flowering
and podding time. Early developed prolific root system under water-limited environments is
needed in chickpea. As molecular markers helped accelerating plant breeding in many
crops. construction of intraspecitic linkage map is very important in chickpea. Hence, the
present investigation was carried out with the following objectives to...
