Abstract

Chickpea is the 4th largest grain legume crop, predominantly grown in Asia. Drought, salinity, and variations in temperature are the major abiotic constraints. CGIAR genebanks maintain a large collection of chickpea germplasm. For enhancing the utilization of chickpea germplasm in breeding and genomics applications, a global composite collection and reference subset have been developed.
