abstract: Tissue culture techniques play an important role in the utilization of wild Cicer species for the improvement
of cultivated chickpea. Utilization of wild Cicer species has become essential as a series of evolutionary
bottlenecks have narrowed the genetic base of chickpea, thus making it susceptible to a range of diseases
and pests. Crosses with wild Cicer can broaden its genetic base and introduce useful traits. Except for two
wild species, none of the other Cicer species are cross-compatible. To use a range of Cicer species for the
improvement of chickpea, embryo rescue and tissue culture techniques are necessary. The success of the
cross with incompatible species depended on a range of techniques including the application of growth
regulators to pollinated pistils and saving aborting embryos in vitro. Further, the chances of successful
transfer of hybrid shoots to soil are greater if the hybrid shoots are grafted to chickpea stocks
