Abstract
Chickpea is an important legume crop of the tropics and subtropics. As it is cultivated mostly during the dry season, drought is the major cause of poor chickpea yields. A wild relative of chickpea, Cicer pinnatifidum, is more tolerant than chickpea itself to various abiotic stresses, including drought. A cDNA clone encoding a dehydrin gene, cpdhn1, was isolated from a cDNA bank prepared from ripening seeds of C. pinnatifidum. Dehydrins are proteins which accumulate in seeds during late embryogenesis and also during stress brought about by drought and other abiotic factors in many plants.....
