note: Authors are thankful to colleagues involved in root trait research in chickpea
at ICRISAT for sharing the published as well as unpublished results. Thanks are due to Generation
Challenge Program (http://www.generationcp.org), National Fund of Indian Council of Agricultural
Research (ICAR), and the Department of Biotechnology of Government of India for
sponsoring the research projects to carry out the research on drought tolerance and chickpea
genomics.
abstract: Chickpea ranks third among pulses, fifth among grain legumes, and 15th among
grain crops of the world. In 2006, the world chickpea cultivation area was 10.7 Mha
with over 8 Mha grown in India, Pakistan, and Iran, with a further 1 Mha grown in
other countries of Asia, the Middle East, and Canada. Total production was 8.4 Mt,
and the average yield was 772 kg/ha (FAOSTAT 2006). Although chickpea is
cultivated in about 50 countries, 95% of its area is in the developing countries
where South Asia alone covers almost 71% of the world chickpea harvested area.
Most of the chickpea harvested is consumed locally and the global trade is about
12% of the total production. The global demand for chickpea is projected to be
11.1 Mt in 2010. Under optimum growing conditions, the yield potential of
chickpea is 6 t/ha (Singh 1987), which is much higher than the current global
yield average of ~0.8 t/ha (Ahmad et al. 2005).
