Agro-morphological traits of Cicer reticulatum Ladizinsky in comparison to C. echinospermum P.H. Davis in terms of potential to improve cultivated chickpea (C. arietinum L.)

Mirlan TALİP

Germplasm collections of C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum are limited, while both species face threats from over-grazing and habitat change in their natural environments. Recently many new accessions of C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum were collected in east and south-east Anatolia (Turkey) but they have not yet been evaluated for agro-morphological traits. Therefore, the current study investigated agro-morphological traits of new germplasm sources of C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum and evaluated resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses for chickpea improvement.
