Abstract excerpt
Chickpea, a predominantly winter-season crop, is highly susceptible to drought stress during its reproductive stage, often resulting in substantial yield losses. To address this challenge, we tested the hypothesis that seeds developed under high-temperature conditions in the summer can enhance drought tolerance in progeny plants. This study evaluated the effects of seed development environment-summer-season seeds...
