Molecular breeding in legumes for resource-poor
farmers: Chickpea for Ethiopia and India
Chickpea is the world’s 2nd most important
grain legume and critical to food security in
much of the developing world
•Stagnant yields
•Susceptible to pathogens,
pests and abiotic stress
• Drought
• Heat
• Pests and Disease
• Nitrogen fixation
• Nutrition
• Soil adaptation
• Domestication

Our target countries
• Regularly impacted by climatic
extremes
Ethiopia
• 40% of Africa’s chickpea
production
• Historical focus of
domestication
India
• Major consumer and producer
of chickpea.
• Among the lowest yielding
countries.
Terminal drought: year in, year out, most serious constraint.
Plant a er the rains.
Produce crop on residual soil moisture.
Exposes crop to drought.
Ascochyta blight is a climate-driven disease, and o en
the limi ng factor in chickpea produc on
Fusarium wilt
Pod borer
Plant a er the rains
Climate-driven shi s in the microbiome drive cul va on prac ces
Early plan ng increases risk of:
1. Foliar Ascochyta blight
2. Soil seedling diseases
Both diseases are driven by
high moisture.
Cul va on too late in season =
increased risk of:
1. Drought and Heat
2. Fusarium infec on
3. Pod borer
Abiotic and biotic stress drive cultivation practices
Accessing, characterizing and
utilizing genetic variation
Breeding needs variation

Genetic resiliency to extreme and variable climates
requires a holistic approach
Abiotic stress: Drought, heat, cold
Biotic stress: Fusarium, Pod borer, (Ascochyta)
Nitrogen: Symbiosis and nitrogen “metabolism”.
Nutrition: Inorganic and organic composition.
Agronomic traits: Architecture, flowering time.
