Objective
The objective of this project is the improvement of chickpea yields by conventional and molecular genetic techniques. The project will aim to provide chickpea cultivar selection with joint high field resistance to Ascochyta blight with winter cold resistance (-8 C) and/or Fusarium wilt resistance. This includes chickpea types for direct human use of grain (dry and/or precooked) and chickpeas for industrial use (formulation of compound feed and other uses). It is also planned to induce and select for chickpea mutants resistant to M. rabiei (MR) 6th pathogenic group by mutagenic treatment with gamma rays on seeds. The evaluation of the agronomic potential of the new chickpea cultivars to be developed will be carried out in autumn sowing in different regions of Spain and Italy.
At the end of the programme the following results are expected:
The identification of 1 or 2 lines to be developed as new commercial varieties for the animal feed industry suitable for winter planting, including high yield, small grain cultivars with resistance to field infections of MR.
The identification of 1 or 2 lines to be developed as new commercial varieties for direct human use (large grain types) with resistance to field infections of MR and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (FOC) suitable for winter planting in areas with moderate cold.
The identification of 1 or 2 lines to be developed as new commercial varieties for direct human use (large grain for precooked canning) with resistance to field infections of MR suitable for winter planting in areas with severe cold (-8 C).
The identification of mutants presenting various degrees of resistance to the 6th pathogenic group of MR.
The identification of 1 or 2 lines to be developed as new commercial varieties with field resistance to MR and tolerance to cold, suitable for industrial fragmentation into starch, protein and fibre.
