Abstract

Low fertility in crosses between C. arietinum and C. echinospermum could be attributable to interspecific differences in small chromosome segments or could be at genic level. Another limitation to the use of C. echinospermum at ICRISAT Asia Centre is that the species is not adapted to the short photoperiod which prevails during the chickpea cropping season at Patancheru, India
