Evaluation and application of advanced tools for molecular breeding for drought and salinity tolerance in chickpea
Project
Project code: 81112162
Contract period: 01.03.2009
- 30.09.2010
Budget: 59,980 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Goal:
This project aims at evaluating novel tools for molecular breeding to facilitate the rapid development of new varieties with enhanced terminal drought and salinity tolerance. Direct beneficiaries of the project are molecular breeders and physiologists at ICARDA, and national agriculture research systems (NARS) scientists. They will gain access to and training in the use of an innovative, easily applicable and reliable technology that, nevertheless, is highly informative and may have extreme power for predicting dehydration-stress-responses in germplasm and breeding lines.
