Activity 6B.1.2: Mapp<strong>in</strong>g and marker-assisted breed<strong>in</strong>g for sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance <strong>in</strong> chickpea<br />

Milestones: Phenotyp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> ICCV 2 x JG 62 mapp<strong>in</strong>g population for sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance completed and data analyzed<br />

with available data for QTL mapp<strong>in</strong>g (VV/LK/RKV/PMG) 2007<br />

<strong>The</strong> phenotyp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> 125 F 13 progenies from ICCV 2 x JG 62 cross has been completed under controlled sal<strong>in</strong>e<br />

conditions (sal<strong>in</strong>e treatment correspond<strong>in</strong>g to an application <strong>of</strong> 1.870 L <strong>of</strong> a 80 mM NaCl solution to 7.5 kg <strong>of</strong> black<br />

soil from <strong>ICRISAT</strong> farm). <strong>The</strong> seed yield under sal<strong>in</strong>ity ranged from 4.05 g pot -1 to 14.5 g pot -1 <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> 126 RILs,<br />

show<strong>in</strong>g a 3-fold range <strong>of</strong> variation, and <strong>the</strong>re was a very good segregation pattern. Parents ICCV2 (sensitive) and<br />

JG62 (tolerant) were at <strong>the</strong> extremes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rank<strong>in</strong>g, with seed yield be<strong>in</strong>g 7.77 g pot -1 (23 rd from bottom) and 13.46<br />

g pot -1 (6 th ranked among all), respectively. QTL analysis is yet to be performed.<br />

Milestone: Mechanisms <strong>of</strong> tolerance to sal<strong>in</strong>ity characterized (VV/LK/NM) 2008<br />

Screen<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> 263 accessions <strong>of</strong> chickpea, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g 211 accessions from <strong>ICRISAT</strong>’s m<strong>in</strong>i-core collection (10% <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> core collection, and 1% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire collection), showed a six-fold range <strong>of</strong> variation for seed yield under<br />

sal<strong>in</strong>ity, with several genotypes yield<strong>in</strong>g 20% more than <strong>the</strong> previously released sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerant cultivar. <strong>The</strong> range<br />

<strong>of</strong> variation <strong>in</strong> yield under sal<strong>in</strong>ity was similar <strong>in</strong> both Kabuli and Desi chickpeas, <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that breed<strong>in</strong>g for<br />

sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance can be undertaken <strong>in</strong> both groups. A strong relationship was found between <strong>the</strong> seed yield under<br />

sal<strong>in</strong>ity and <strong>the</strong> seed yield under a non-sal<strong>in</strong>e control treatment, <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong> seed yield under sal<strong>in</strong>ity was<br />

expla<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> part by a yield potential component, and <strong>in</strong> part by sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance per se. Seed yields under sal<strong>in</strong>ity<br />

were <strong>the</strong>refore computed to separate <strong>the</strong> yield potential component from <strong>the</strong> residuals that accounted for sal<strong>in</strong>ity<br />

tolerance per se. Among <strong>the</strong> genotypes evaluated, Desi genotypes showed greater sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance than <strong>the</strong> Kabuli<br />

genotypes. <strong>The</strong> residuals were highly correlated to <strong>the</strong> ratio <strong>of</strong> seed yield under sal<strong>in</strong>ity to that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> control,<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that both parameters can be used to assess sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance. A similar ratio was calculated for shoot dry<br />

weight at 50 days after sow<strong>in</strong>g. However, no significant correlation was found between <strong>the</strong> shoot dry weight ratio<br />

and <strong>the</strong> gra<strong>in</strong> yield ratio, <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g that differences <strong>in</strong> sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance among genotypes could not be <strong>in</strong>ferred from<br />

measurements at <strong>the</strong> vegetative stage. <strong>The</strong> major trait related to sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance was <strong>the</strong> ability to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> a large<br />

number <strong>of</strong> filled pods, whereas seed size was similar <strong>in</strong> tolerant and sensitive genotypes. Sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance was also<br />

not related to <strong>the</strong> Na + or K + concentrations <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> shoot.<br />

Milestone: New RILs populations for mapp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance QTLs developed (PMG/VV/LK) 2009<br />

A set <strong>of</strong> 10 tolerant and 10 susceptible l<strong>in</strong>es with sal<strong>in</strong>ity tolerance have been provided to <strong>the</strong> chickpea breed<strong>in</strong>g<br />

group. Three crosses have been developed: ICC 6263 (DF 70) x ICC 1431 (DF 69), ICC 15802 (DF 66) x ICC 9942<br />

(DF 63), and ICCV 2 (DF 39) x JG 11 (DF 40). <strong>The</strong>se genotypes will also be assessed for <strong>the</strong>ir range <strong>of</strong><br />

polymorphism at <strong>the</strong> DNA level, us<strong>in</strong>g a set <strong>of</strong> SSR markers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> phenotyp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> 125 F 13 progenies from ICCV 2 x JG 62 cross has been completed under controlled sal<strong>in</strong>e<br />

conditions (sal<strong>in</strong>e treatment correspond<strong>in</strong>g to an application <strong>of</strong> 1.870 L <strong>of</strong> a 80 mM NaCl solution to 7.5 kg <strong>of</strong> black<br />

soil from <strong>ICRISAT</strong> farm). Gra<strong>in</strong> yield has been recorded at maturity. <strong>The</strong> seed yield under sal<strong>in</strong>ity ranged from 4.05<br />
