“…The results of Nayyar et al (2006) revealed that 14 days water stress, to kabuli type chickpea exhibited 80% reduction in yield as compared with 64% reduction observed in desi chickpea and also noted that decrease in water leave potential was faster in kabuli as compared to desi. Singh et al (1997) also confirmed that desi chickpea produces higher pods and yield than kabuli type. The chickpea lines with higher plant water status and high leaf water potential (LWP) produce higher number of seed per plant, seed/pod, harvest index and grain yield (Yadav et al, 2005).…”

“…High temperature stress also causes yield losses because of damage to reproductive organs (Anyia and Herzy, 2000) and had reduced total dry matter and grain yield during drought (Leport et al, 2006). Singh et al (1997), Kashiwagi et al (2005) and Lopez et al (2006) have screened out some pulses germ plasm accessions with greater genetic variability in various traits. They also identified some drought tolerant related characteristics in the chickpea plant.…”

Drought is a major abiotic constraint limiting the chickpea yield up to a greater level in Pakistan. The yield level remain very low under prolong moisture deficit conditions. A set of 40 chickpea lines including some approved varieties were assessed for drought tolerance under glasshouse conditions. The crop was given an artificial drought stress at pre-flowering stage for a period of 30 days and then re-irrigated regularly till harvesting. The observations were recorded on plant wilting-I, plant wilting-II, crop recovery percentage and grain yield. The results revealed a relatively divergent response of various chickpea lines/varieties for all the studied parameters. Genotypes SL-05-30 NCS950219 and F-97-112 C remained superior while observing plant wilting-I by scoring 1, 1.67 and 2.00 at 1-9 rating scale and produced higher yield of 18.43, 18.33 and 18.23 grams per plant respectively. The plant recovery response revealed that more than 50% of studied lines could not properly recover after termination of moisture stress suggesting that moisture stress at pre-flowering has usually lethal effect on chickpea plants. Kabuli type chickpea lines were more sensitive to moisture stress and high temperature and produced lower yields as compared to desi type chickpea.

“…Some losses are due to intermittent drought during the vegetative phase while others are due to terminal drought during reproductive development Singh et al, 1997a;Serraj et al, 2004b). The severity of drought stress is unpredictable as it depends on many factors such as occurrence and distribution of rainfall, evaporative demands of the atmosphere and moisture storing capacity of the soils (Wery et al, 1994).…”

Screening techniques and sources of resistance to abiotic stresses in cool-season food legumes

et al. 2006

The adaptability and productivity of cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil, pea) are limited by major abiotic stresses including drought, heat, frost, chilling, waterlogging, salinity and mineral toxicities. The severity of these stresses is unpredictable in field experiments, so field trials are increasingly supplemented with controlledenvironment testing and physiological screening. For drought testing, irrigation is used in dry fields and rain-out shelters in damp ones. Carbon isotope discrimination ( 13 C) is a well-established screen for drought tolerance in C3 cereal crops which is now being validated for use in grain legumes, but it is relatively expensive per sample and more economical methods include stomatal conductance and canopy temperature. Chickpea lines ICC4958 and FLIP87-59C and faba bean line ILB938 have demonstrated good drought tolerance parameters in different experiments. For frost tolerance, an efficient controlled-environment procedure involves exposing hardened pot-grown plants to subzero temperatures. Faba beans Cote d'Or and BPL4628 as well as lentil ILL5865 have demonstrated good freezing tolerance in such tests. Chilling-tolerance tests are more commonly conducted in the field and lentil line ILL1878 as well as derivatives of interspecific crosses between chickpea and its wild relatives have repeatedly shown good results. The timing of chilling is particularly important as temperatures which are not lethal to the plant can greatly disrupt fertilization of flowers. Salinity response can be determined using hydroponic methods with a sand or gravel substrate and rapid, efficient scoring is based on leaf symptoms. Many lines of chickpea, faba bean and lentil have shown good salinity tolerance in a single article but none has become a benchmark. Waterlogging tolerance can be evaluated using paired hydroponic systems, one oxygenated and the other de-oxygenated. The development of lysigenous cavities or aerenchyma in roots, common in warm-season legumes, is reported in pea and lentil but is not well established in chickpea or faba bean. Many stresses are associated with oxidative damage leading to changes in chlorophyll fluorescence, membrane stability and peroxidase levels. An additional factor relevant to the legumes is the response of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria to the stress.

“…Moinuddin and Chopra (2004) suggested that cultivars with high osmotic adjustment (OA) generally showed improved plant water potential and proved significantly superior to one with low OA with respect to grain yield and other parameters. Early plant vigour and fast ground cover are the yield enhancing traits under drought in chickpea (Singh et al, 1997). Shoot and root traits play an important role in regulating water use by crop plant (Subbaroa et al, 1995).…”

The shoot and root behavior and flowering time of two chickpea genotypes (kabuli and desi types) was examined under well watered and moisture stress conditions in split drainpipes in 2006. The data on shoot and root fresh weight and dry weight and plant and soil moisture percentage were recorded at the late flowering stage. The observations on root and soil moisture were recorded at three depth level with gap of 15 cm each. The results revealed that both the plant types of chickpea behaved alike except for days to flower initiation which was significantly different in the two varieties. Root and Shoot fresh weights were significantly greater in well watered conditions, but on the other hand, there was no any significant effect of moisture stress on shoot dry matter content, suggesting that higher weight of fresh shoot was due to high uptake of water under well watered conditions which evaporated after drying. Fresh root weight was only significantly affected at 30 cm depth level due to varieties and 45 cm depth level due to treatments. The root moisture percentage was significantly affected at 15, 30 and 45 cm depth level due to varieties × treatments interaction, varieties and treatments, respectively. There found no significant difference in dry weight among the rooting depths. The cultivar Sheenghar-2000 retained higher root moisture content (7.57%) at 15 cm depth level under well watered.
