Introgression of “QTL‐hotspot” region enhances drought tolerance and grain yield in three elite chickpea cultivars

Abstract With an aim of enhancing drought tolerance using a marker‐assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach, we introgressed the “QTL‐hotspot” region from ICC 4958 accession that harbors quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for several drought‐tolerance related traits into three elite Indian chickpea (Cicer...
