Description
Zhang and co-authors score trait spread across 362 chickpea lines. They measured 17 traits tied to growth and seed quality. Diversity scores for five trait groups ran from 0 point 76 to 1 point 20. Scores for twelve count traits ran higher, from 1 point 45 to 2 point 07. Spread values ranged from 7 point 63 to 41 point 69 percent across traits.
Growth span, plant height, and seed weight tracked yield most closely. Five main factors captured 76 percent of the total spread. Sorting split the lines into five groups with clear strengths. Ten lines scored best overall on a combined grade. Those lines are prime picks as parents for new chickpea breeding.
