Chickpea Phenotyping

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Phenotyping for Plant Breeding

  • 2027 Accesses

Abstract

The phenotype is known as a reflection of dynamic interaction between the genome, environmental conditions and the multiple plant responses that determines the plant performance. The phenotype is the final goal for plant breeders. Phenotyping is the basis of plant selection and has been going on for millennia. Breeders have done phenotyping since the beginning of the art. Nowadays phenotyping is used as a powerful approach in several plants improvement programs particularly for stress resistance/tolerace breeding. Recent advances in phenomics, genomics and bioinformatics provide the possibility of undertaking large scale screening and sequencing of germplasm accessions so that modern breeding approaches can be realized in near future for chickpea improvement. This article reviews some basic concepts of phenotyping, types of the employed methods and bioassays referring to important biotic and abiotic stresses, and continues with answering the question “how phenotypic data can be integrated with genotypic data?” It concluded with a discussion about gains which have been made with molecular assisted breeding (MAB) in chickpea and opportunities for MAB in chickpea in the immediate future are also briefly discussed.
