“…In the context of global climate change, the heat stress during the reproductive stages can severely affect the grain yields of chickpea [ 107 ]. In this sense, the identification and introgression of QTLs associated with heat tolerance can accelerate the breeding process and facilitate combining different desired traits in one single genotype.…”

Chickpea is one of the most important pulse crops worldwide, being an excellent source of protein. It is grown under rain-fed conditions averaging yields of 1 t/ha, far from its potential of 6 t/ha under optimum conditions. The combined effects of heat, cold, drought, and salinity affect species productivity. In this regard, several physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms are reviewed to confer tolerance to abiotic stress. A large collection of nearly 100,000 chickpea accessions is the basis of breeding programs, and important advances have been achieved through conventional breeding, such as germplasm introduction, gene/allele introgression, and mutagenesis. In parallel, advances in molecular biology and high-throughput sequencing have allowed the development of specific molecular markers for the genus Cicer, facilitating marker-assisted selection for yield components and abiotic tolerance. Further, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have permitted the identification of specific genes, proteins, and metabolites associated with tolerance to abiotic stress of chickpea. Furthermore, some promising results have been obtained in studies with transgenic plants and with the use of gene editing to obtain drought-tolerant chickpea. Finally, we propose some future lines of research that may be useful to obtain chickpea genotypes tolerant to abiotic stress in a scenario of climate change.

Current agricultural production is seriously threatened by climate change and global warming, which also bring new difficulties including the spread of pests and diseases and changes in the environment that can have a big influence on crop yields. Innovative strategies are required to guarantee food security and agricultural sustainability in light of these changing circumstances. To overcome these obstacles, molecular breeding techniques have become essential, particularly with the introduction of next-generation sequencing technology. Chain termination and enzymatic techniques, which were known for their low throughput and efficiency, were the methods used for DNA sequencing in the past. A paradigm change was brought about by the advent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-based sequencing, which allowed for higher throughput and more effective sequencing procedures. On the other hand, next-generation sequencing, with its unmatched capabilities, represents the latest breakthrough. With the use of this technology, characteristics that govern how the body and metabolism react to different stresses in a changing environment may be examined in greater detail. These developments in molecular breeding technologies not only improve our knowledge of plant responses to global challenges to food production, but they also offer useful tools for creating crops that are climate resilient. Scientists and farmers alike may work towards developing crops that survive the effects of global warming and contribute to a more sustainable and secure food supply by decoding the genetic composition with unprecedented accuracy. In this review, we discuss the opportunities, mechanisms, and implications of next-generation sequencing in the development of climate-resilient crops.
