Abstract:
Modern plant breeding and agricultural systems have narrowed the base for the genetic diversity of cultivated chickpea and to explore new sources of variation that might be used in plant breeding programmes. The current investigation was carried out to morphologically characterize and classify desi chickpea genotypes on the basis of DUS descriptors suggested by PPV& FRA, GOI, 2007. Among 20 DUS traits observed; 5 traits were monomorphic, 9 traits were dimorphic, 4 traits were trimorphic and rest 2 traits were found to be polymorphic among all chickpea genotypes revealing the presence of a significant amount of genetic variability with the potential to assign various morphological profiles for varietal identification and characterization.
