D rought effects are commonly related to the agriculture and water resource sectors. They may cause substantial economic losses in the agriculture sector of developed countries through reductions in crop yield or total failure of crops (Sweet et al., 2017;Tian et al., 2018). Under certain circumstances they can also cause human migration and famine in developing countries (Gray and Mueller, 2012; Abstract | Extreme climatic conditions like heat waves, dry spell, sustained drought and precipitation adversely reducing the crop productivity and these are considered as an alarming issue for the crop production in rainfed areas. Chick pea is deemed to be regarded as a drought sensitive crop. The low water and fertilizer demand and its ability to grow on marginal land is an excellent choice for the farming community. The field trial was conducted with the aspect to screen out the drought-tolerant variety of chick pea keeping in view the physiological and biochemical attributes under drought conditions. Drought stress adversely reduced the vegetative growth in term of primary branches, secondary branches and pod yield. Based on biochemical, morphological and physiological parameters a significant difference was observed among the genotypes. Out of twenty-five genotypes, three chick pea genotypes i-e chick pea genotypes GGP1260, GGP1426 and PB01 shown the best drought tolerance efficiency (83.78, 84.21 and 81.57%), harvest index (83.23, 84.06, and 81.14%) and minimum reduction in pod yield (16.21, 15.78 and 18.42%) under rainfed controlled conditions. Under rainfed condition the activity of all enzymes increased among all genotypes. The chick pea genotypes, GGP-1260, PGP-1426 and PB-1 were observed as drought-tolerant ones on the basis of biochemical, morphological and physiological parameters and these can be recommended for rain-fed areas crop selection.

“…However, it is not clear how RD-stressed crops, including chickpea, adjust their physiological and biochemical responses in an effort to efficiently tolerate severe drought events. The yield potential of chickpea under WD was found to be strongly correlated with the water status of plants during the vegetative growth stage, which is determined by the RWC (Waqas et al 2019). Results of the present study revealed differences in leaf RWC contents between FLIP00-21C and FLIP02-89C under WW conditions, with FLIP00-21C showing higher leaf RWC contents than FLIP02-89C plants (Figure 1).…”

“…China), European (e.g. Czech Republic), Middle East, Northern and Southern Africa have experienced severe heat waves and/or intense precipitation deficiency in recent years (Mo & Lettenmaier 2015;Potop et al 2014;Waha et al 2017;Yuan et al 2015;Yuan et al 2018), which may cause rapid dehydration (RD) in plants, and thus considerable damage to the yields of crops, including chickpea, and billions of dollars of economic losses (Leng & Hall 2019;Waqas et al 2019). Despite the efforts to improve chickpea tolerance to WD using classical breeding approaches, limited success has been achieved to date with the production of varieties that can tolerate WD (Maqbool et al 2017).…”

In nature, plants may suffer rapid dehydration (RD), which causes significant loss of the annual global chickpea production. Thus, ascertaining more knowledge concerning the RD-tolerance mechanisms in chickpea is crucial for developing high drought-tolerant varieties to assure sustainable chickpea production under sudden water deficit. Here, we focused on genotype-driven variation in leaf relative water content (RWC) and associated differences in RD-responsive physiological and biochemical attributes in roots and leaves of two chickpea varieties, FLIP00-21C and FLIP02-89C, subjected to well-watered and RD conditions. FLIP00-21C showed higher RD-tolerance than FLIP02-89C, evident by its higher leaf RWC during RD. Consistently, FLIP00-21C exhibited lower membrane injury due to lower hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) accumulation than FLIP02-89C during RD, indicating reduced RD-induced oxidative damage. Under RD conditions, total phenolics in roots and flavonoids in roots and leaves increased more in FLIP02-89C compared to FLIP00-21C; however, the increased activities of superoxide dismutase and H 2 O 2 -scavenging enzymes were more properly coordinated in FLIP00-21C than in FLIP02-89C, which might contribute to more efficient antioxidant defense in FLIP00-21C than in FLIP02-89C. The higher leaf RWC of FLIP00-21C versus FLIP02-89C under RD might be associated with greater increases in the levels of the osmo-regulators proline and total free amino acids (TFAAs) in FLIP00-21C than in FLIP02-89C. Collectively, the higher RD-tolerance of FLIP00-21C is mainly associated with the maintenance of higher RWC, stronger antioxidant defense, and greater accumulation of proline and TFAAs. These traits could be useful for evaluating the drought-tolerance of chickpea varieties and further marker-assisted breeding approaches for improvement of chickpea productivity.

“…The world collection of chickpea germplasm comprises 99,877 accessions, including 1476 wild Cicer types, which are preserved in 120 genebanks spread across 64 nations [ 30 ]. The three main chickpea germplasm banks are the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropic (ICRISAT) with 18,963 accessions in India, the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) in India with 15,986 accessions, and the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) in Lebanon with 13,065 accessions [ 33 ]. This large number of accessions represents a great source of favorable alleles that can be incorporated into breeding programs related to grain yield and abiotic stress tolerance [ 30 ].…”

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.
