Phenotyping Chickpeas and Pigeonpeas for Adaptation to Drought [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
The chickpea and pigeonpea are protein-rich grain legumes used for human consumption in many countries. Grain yield of these crops is low to moderate in the semi-arid tropics with large variation due to high GxE interaction. In the Indian subcontinent chickpea is grown in the post-rainy winter season on receding soil moisture, and in other countries ...
