  • GRDC Code: ICA1401-001RTX
    ICA00011 - Pre-emptive chickpea pre-breeding for biotic stresses and germplasm enhancement
    Chickpea suffers from a range of biotic and abiotic stresses that can cause significant production losses. The losses caused by many of these stresses can be avoided through the breeding of resistant or tolerant varieties, but appropriate genes are…
