- Abstract
The article presents a study regarding root characteristics, plant water status and CO2 exchange in relation to drought tolerance in chickpea. The study utilizes six genotypes of chickpea and was evaluated for various root characteristics during the post rainy season. Results show that the genotypes HC-5 and H02-36 could be utilized in crop improvement programs as sources of chickpea breeding for drought tolerance because it showed higher dry matter of roots.
