"Terminal drought is one of the major constraints in chickpea\r\n(Cicer arietinum L.) leading to more than 50% production losses.\r\nTo overcome these production losses due to drought, a\r\nrange of translational genomics approaches are being used in\r\nchickpea breeding to develop improved chickpea varieties for\r\nenhancing food and nutritional security in developing countries\r\nin the context of climate change. For understanding the complex\r\nnature of drought tolerance, precise phenotypic data (20\r\ndrought component traits evaluated in one to seven seasons\r\nat one to five locations in India on two intra-specific mapping\r\npopulations - ICC 4958 × ICC 1882 and ICC 283 × ICC 8261)\r\ntogether with extensive genotyping data was analyzed. As a\r\nresult, nine QTL clusters containing QTLs for several drought\r\ntolerance traits have been identified, which can be targeted for\r\nmolecular breeding. Among these clusters, one cluster harbouring\r\n48% robust M-QTLs for 12 traits and explaining about\r\n58.20% phenotypic variation present on CaLG04 has been\r\nreferred as “QTL-hotspot”. This genomic region contains seven\r\nSSR markers (ICCM0249, NCPGR127, TAA170, NCPGR21, TR11,\r\nGA24 and STMS11). This QTL region has been introgressed\r\nin several leading varieties (e.g. JG 11, Chefe, KAK2) by using\r\nmarker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach. Multi-location\r\nevaluation of these MABC lines provided several lines that\r\nhave up to 24% higher yield than the recurrent parents. Introgression\r\nof this region into other elite cultivars will enhance\r\nproduction and productivity in chickpea."^^ . "2017-02" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "L"^^ . "Krishnamurthy"^^ .
