Abstract

Among other names, Bengal gram, Channa, or garbanzo bean is a pulse crop essential for providing healthful food to the world's expanding population. With a growing global population, chickpeas are a valuable crop that will only grow in importance due to climate change. They also provide wholesome nourishment. Kabuli and desi are the two primary types. According to a study at the University of Punjab Lahore, chickpea seedlings have substantial genetic variants with high genetic components and broad-sense heritability of 95.97%. Root length demonstrated a substantial genotypic influence with a PCV of 6.62% and a higher GCV than SL. A considerable genotypic diversity was observed in the Root-to-Seedling Length Ratio, with a heritability value of 89.47% and genetic advance of 10.389%. There was no discernible genotypic variance in seedling biomass, Substantial genotypic differences were observed in leaf features, suggesting a high degree of genetic variability. The correlation matrix showed Numerous connections between the seven attributes in chickpea seedlings, indicating a possible physiological and genetic basis for the relationships. Breeding initiatives, breeding programs, and new kinds with enhanced traits can all benefit from these discoveries.
