This book covers all aspects of chickpea breeding and management, including: origin, taxonomy and ecology; geographic distribution; nutrition; genetics and cytogenetics; breeding methods and achievements; wild relatives; and genetic enrichment using molecular biology and biotechnology. Presenting the most complete and up-to-date research on chickpea production, management, cropping systems, disease management and quality seed production, this book will be of great value to plant breeders, farmers, traders and nutritionalists, as well as academic researchers and graduate students.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
