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 …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a dry season food legume largely grown on residual soil
moisture after the rainy season. The crop often experiences moisture stress towards end of …

The concept of 'crop ideotype'is coined as a desirable plant model expected to better
perform for seed yield, oils and other useful characteristics when developed as a cultivar …

In the context of climate change, heat stress during the reproductive stages of chickpea
(Cicer arietinum L.) leads to significant yield losses. In order to identify the genomic regions …

Although chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) has high yield potential, its seed yield is often low
and unstable due to the impact of abiotic stresses, such as drought and heat. As a result of …

Chickpea is the third most consumed pulse and provides a kit of essential nutrients for an
exponential population. High temperatures and drought stress are two major abiotic stresses …

Abstract Heat waves (temperatures> 35 C) during flowering and pod-filling of lentil can result
in significant reductions in seed yield, quality and profitability. Preliminary research for …

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production in arable, Mediterranean-type climates is limited by
heat waves and unreliable rainfall. Under climate change scenarios, increased atmospheric …

Globally terminal drought is one of the major constraints to chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
production. Early flowering genotypes escape terminal drought, and the increase in seed …

Lentil production in arable, Mediterranean-type climates is limited by acute high temperature
(HT) commonly occurring during the reproductive stage. With changing climate and greater …
