Abstract:
The present review emphases on genetic variability component study in chickpea. Despite enormous potentials for its quantitative and qualitative improvement. Chickpea is bestowed with unique combination of reasonable yielding ability even under adverse conditions, optimal nutritional profile, high tolerance to abiotic stresses and above all high biomass production; part of which get added to soil when leaves are shed consummating in value addition to soil. The incredible legume has diversified uses with unequivocal exquisite consumer’s preference across the country. The finding will help to a great extent in maintenance breeding, quality seed production, seed certification and seed testing program. It also used for screening of genotypes for quality and high yield. Despite the productivity of the crop has not evinced ameliorations in consonance to its significance. Generating information about the genetic variability, relationships, and mechanisms of inheritance of the genetic characters involved is the key task in genetic improvement of any crop plant. The knowledge of heritability helps the plant breeder in predicting the behavior of the succeeding generation and making desirable selection.
