"Transpiration difference under high evaporative demand in chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) may be explained by differences in the water transport pathway in the root cylinder"^^ . "Terminal drought substantially reduces chickpea yield. Reducing water use at vegetative\r\nstage by reducing transpiration under high vapor pressure deficit (VPD), i.e. under dry/\r\nhot conditions, contributes to drought adaptation. We hypothesized that this trait could\r\nrelate to differences in a genotype’s dependence on root water transport pathways and\r\nhydraulics.\r\n• Transpiration rate responses in conservative and profligate chickpea genotypes were\r\nevaluated under increasing VPD in the presence/absence of apoplastic and cell-to-cell\r\ntransport inhibitors.\r\n• Conservative genotypes ICC 4958 and ICC 8058 restricted transpiration under high\r\nVPD compared to the profligate genotypes ICC 14799 and ICC 867. Profligate genotypes\r\nwere more affected by aquaporin inhibition of the cell-to-cell pathway than conservative\r\ngenotypes, as measured by the root hydraulic conductance and transpiration\r\nunder high VPD. Aquaporin inhibitor treatment also led to a larger reduction in root\r\nhydraulic conductivity in profligate than in conservative genotypes. In contrast, blockage\r\nof the apoplastic pathway in roots decreased transpiration more in conservative\r\nthan in profligate genotypes. Interestingly, conservative genotypes had high early vigour,\r\nwhereas profligate genotypes had low early vigour.\r\n• In conclusion, profligate genotypes depend more on the cell-to-cell pathway, which\r\nmight explain their higher root hydraulic conductivity, whereas water-saving by\r\nrestricting transpiration led to higher dependence on the apoplastic pathway. This\r\nopens the possibility to screen for conservative or profligate chickpea phenotypes using\r\ninhibitors, itself opening to the search of the genetic basis of these differences."^^ .
