Abstract

Chickpea is a food grain legume with a continuous increasing global demand during the past years. The exceptional nutritional characteristics make this crop a high-quality source of protein for people in develo** countries and nutraceutical food in developed ones. Moreover, chickpea cultivation has low water requirement and, as other legumes, improves soil characteristics being recommendable for a sustainable agriculture. Most of the breeding programmes in progress are focused on the two main biotic stresses affecting the productivity: Fusarium wilt and Ascochyta blight. In addition, pod bored, botrytis grey mould or rust is being studied. Regarding abiotic stresses, the most important are drought and cold tolerance. In the past 20 years, conventional breeding programmes allowed the development of new cultivars reaching considerable yields. However, the application of genomics technologies is required in order to speed up the new cultivar development. Marker-assisted selection is starting to be used in breeding programmes for selecting favourable alleles. The integration of genetic maps and whole-genome sequence information opens a promising future to obtain new varieties better adapted to new climatic conditions and with enhanced productivity.
