initiative ‘Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Collecting,
Protecting and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives,’ which

abstract: Developing nutrient-rich crop cultivars is the most economic strategy to combat malnutrition
resulting from protein and mineral deficiencies. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum
L.) is an important staple grain legume source of good quality dietary protein around
the world, particularly in southern Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. In
the present investigation, the genetic variability for protein and mineral concentrations
was studied in 41 accessions of cultivated chickpea and eight annual wild Cicer
species of primary, secondary, and tertiary gene pool. Large variability was observed
between and within Cicer species for seed protein, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, and Mg concentration
with high heritability. C. chorassanicum (Bunge) Popov was found to be
the most promising species for high seed protein and Ca; C. judaicum Boiss. for
high seed Fe, Cu. and Mg; C. yamashiatae Kitam. for high seed Zn and Fe; and
C. pinnatifidum Jaub. & Spach for high seed Mn concentrations. All the wild Cicer
accessions except ICC20190 (C. echinospermum P. H. Davis) had high concentration
of at least one or more seed nutrients. Wild Cicer accessions such as ICC17141
(C. chorassanicum), ICC17269 and ICC17303 (both C. pinnatifidum), ICC17261
and ICC17262 (C. reticulatum), ICC20236 (C. chorassanicum), and ICC17117 and
ICC17281 (C. yamashitae) were found promising for multiple seed nutrients. As C.
reticulatum Ladiz. and C. echinospremum accessions are crossable with cultivated
chickpea, promising C. reticulatum accessions identified in the present study can be
used in crossing program for developing new nutrient-rich chickpea cultivars.
