"Ascertaining the Extent of Contribution of Various Traits to Terminal Drought Tolerance in Chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.)"^^ . "Chickpea cropping system is largely rainfed and terminal\r\ndrought is a major constraint to its productivity. Breeding for drought\r\ntolerance requires knowledge of the type and intensity of drought and\r\nthe various traits and mechanisms employed by the plant to overcome\r\nthe drought effects. The number of traits that are associated with\r\nterminal drought tolerance is overwhelmingly large and needs to be\r\nprioritized and ranked for their strength of contribution to drought\r\nadaptation and to incorporate in breeding programs. Therefore, the\r\nobjectives of this study were to understand the relative value of\r\nvarious putative traits that confer yield advantages under terminal\r\ndrought stress in chickpea, and the traits that are amenable for high\r\nthroughput and their association with molecular markers. Twelve\r\nchickpea genotypes, selected for contrast in root and shoot strength,\r\nfield-based drought tolerance and canopy temperature differences\r\nwere grown in terminal drought stressed and optimally irrigated\r\nenvironments. Root, shoot, soil water, physiological and analytical\r\nyield components were measured at periodical intervals and these\r\nrelated traits were associated with grain yield through correlations,\r\nregressions and path analysis. Path coefficient analysis revealed that\r\nroot traits, RLD and RDW, were associated with grain yield and these\r\nrelations were explained well if the active soil water mining zone roots\r\nwere considered against yield. Roots of all the depths were associated\r\nclosely with the total soil water uptake of the plants except at the\r\nsurface and ultimate depths at any given stage. This close relationship..."^^ .
