"Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a dry season food legume and is\r\nlargely grown on residual soil moisture after the rainy season.\r\nThe crop often experiences moisture stress towards the end\r\nof the crop season (terminal drought). The crop may also face\r\nheat stress at the reproductive stage, if sowing is delayed. The\r\nincreasing climate variability, reflected in wide fluctuations in\r\ntemperatures and rainfall, is further aggravating risks of terminal\r\ndrought and heat stresses to chickpea crop, particularly in the\r\nsemi-arid tropics (SAT). The genetic approaches being used for\r\nmanaging terminal drought and heat stresses include development\r\nof varieties with early maturity and enhanced tolerance to\r\nthese stresses. Excellent progress has been made in the development\r\nof early maturing varieties with high yield potential, which\r\nhelped in bringing additional area under cultivation and enhancing\r\nproductivity of chickpea in short-season SAT environments.\r\nSeveral varieties with improved drought tolerance have been\r\ndeveloped by the classical approach of selecting for grain yield\r\nunder moisture stress conditions. Similarly, selection for pod set\r\nin the crop, subjected to reproductive stage heat stress by delayed\r\nplanting, has helped in development of heat-tolerant varieties.\r\nA genomic region called “QTL-hot spot”, which controls a\r\nnumber of drought tolerance traits including root traits, has been\r\nintrogressed into several popular cultivars using marker-assisted\r\nbackcrossing (MABC); and introgression lines giving significantly\r\nhigher yield than the popular cultivars under moisture stress\r\nconditions have been identified. Multi-parent advanced generation\r\ninter-cross (MAGIC) approach has been found promising\r\nin enhancing genetic recombination and developing lines with\r\nenhanced tolerance to terminal drought and heat stresses. Integrated\r\nbreeding approaches involving, particularly, genomic\r\ntools, precision phenotyping, and rapid generation turnover\r\ntechniques, have improved efficiency of chickpea breeding programs\r\nin developing varieties better adapted to water limited\r\nenvironments."^^ .
