Abstract
Winter sowing of chickpea (Cicrr arirtinutn L) has been intoduced in the Mediterranean region with the prospect of increasing seed yield by 5&100% over spring sowing. Since the influence of season on protein content is not known, this study was conducted to determine it. Another objective was to determine the genotype-cnvironment interactions for protein content. Five sets of trials, comprising 20-24 entries each, were conducted at three locations and during two seasons. The estimates of variance components involving first-order interactions [genotype (G) x location (L) ,g enotype x season (S)]w ere small, indicating that the contribution of L and S in the genotypic expression of protein content was generally small. The mean squares due to the genotype x environment (linear) portion of interaction were non-significant, showing that there were no differences in the linear expression of C. Furthermore, the present study demonstrated that the overall diflerence in protein content in the seeds of two seasons was only 0.1 1 %, indicating that the protein content in seed was little affected by sowing date.
