Unlocking Chickpea Potential: Key Traits for Maximum Yield Identified
The study looked at different types of chickpeas to see which ones produced the most seeds. They found that the number of seeds per plant, number of branches, number of pods, and seed weight were the most important factors for high yields. These traits were also found to be highly heritable, meaning they are likely passed down from parent plants. The researchers suggest that focusing on these traits can help farmers choose the best chickpea plants for maximum yield.
