the progeny of a single population in chickpea (Cobos et
al., 2007) and will be useful in enhancing tolerance to
temperature extremes. Another potential approach is
genomic selection (Nayak et al., 2010), where training
populations that are representative of the wider gene pool
are assembled, genotyped and phenotyped and all the
estimated gene effects used to assemble new chickpea cul-
tivars. However, these breeding-by-design approaches are
completely dependent upon the accuracy of the pheno-
typing data used in estimating the gene effects. The
screening methods outlined in this chapter offer scope for
rapid and accurate phenotyping for chickpea temperature
stress tolerance and when integrated in a molecular
breeding scheme, should provide the temperature-toler-
ant chickpea cultivars required for an increasingly hostile
production environment.
