pesticide use and minimizing the extent of losses due to this pest. However, only low to moderate levels of resistance have&#13;
been observed in the cultivated chickpea to this polyphagous pest. Hence, it is important to explore wild relatives as resistance&#13;
sources to develop insect-resistant cultivars. Therefore, we studied different biochemical components that confer resistance to&#13;
H. armigera in a diverse array of wild relatives of chickpea. Accessions belonging to wild relatives of chickpea exhibited high&#13;
levels of resistance to H. armigera as compared to cultivated chickpea genotypes in terms of lower larval survival, pupation&#13;
and adult emergence, decreased larval and pupal weights, prolonged larval and pupal developmental periods and reduced&#13;
fecundity of the H. armigera when reared on artificial diet impregnated with lyophilized leaf powders. Amounts of proteins&#13;
and phenols in different accessions of chickpea wild relatives were significantly and negatively correlated with larval weight,&#13;
pupation and adult emergence. Phenols showed a negative correlation with pupal weight and fecundity, but positive correlation&#13;
with pupal period. Total soluble sugars showed a negative correlation with larval period, but positive correlation with&#13;
pupation and pupal weight, while tannins showed a positive correlation with larval weight, pupation and adult emergence.&#13;
The flavonoid compounds such as chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, naringin, 3,4-dihydroxy flavones, quercetin, naringenin,&#13;
genistein, biochanin-A and formononetin that were identified through HPLC fingerprints, exhibited negative effects on survival&#13;
and development of H. armigera reared on artificial diet impregnated with lyophilized leaf powders. The wild relatives&#13;
with diverse mechanisms of resistance conferred by different biochemical components can be used as sources of resistance&#13;
in chickpea breeding programs to develop cultivars with durable resistance to H. armigera for sustainable crop production.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Pest Management</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Chickpea</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2020-04</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Springer</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
