Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume at the global level. Among different biotic stresses, diseases are the most important factor limiting its production, causing yield losses up to 100% in severe condition. The major diseases that adversely affect yield of chickpea include Fusarium wilt, Ascochyta blight and Botrytis gray mold. However, dry root rot, collar rot, Sclerotinia stem rot, rust, stunt disease and phyllody have been noted as emerging biotic threats to chickpea production in many production regions. Identification and incorporation of different morphological and biochemical traits are required through breeding to enhance genetic gain for disease resistance. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the development of trait-specific breeding lines, genetic and genomic resources in chickpea. Advances in genomics technologies have opened up new avenues to introgress genes from secondary and tertiary gene pools for improving disease resistance in chickpea. In this review, we have discussed important diseases, constraints and improvement strategies for enhancing disease resistance in chickpea.
