Root characteristics, plant water status and CO2 exchange in relation to drought tolerance in chickpea

摘要

Root traits, such as rooting depth and root biomass, havebeen identified as the most promising plant traits inchickpea for terminal drought tolerance. With thisobjective six genotypes of chickpea, viz, H02-36, H03-56, H04-31, H04-33, H04-45 and HC-5 were
