SuperSAGE : the drought stress-responsive transcriptome of chickpea roots [PDF]
, 2009 Background Drought is the major constraint to increase yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Improving drought tolerance is therefore of outmost importance for breeding. However, the complexity of the trait allowed only marginal progress.
