Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify chickpea M3 mutant lines with high yield potential and improved resource-use efficiency under contrasting water regimes using isotopic analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A split-plot factorial design was used to evaluate 17 chickpea M3 mutant lines under irrigated and rainfed conditions. The measured traits included phenology (flowering and maturity), plant height, hundred-seed...
