    Notes: Summary A spontaneous fasciated mutant was detected in the chickpea cv. Amethyst. It was characterised by broad, strap-like stems, irregular leaf arrangement and clustering of pods towards the stem apices. F2 and F3 segregations showed that fasciation was controlled by a single, recessive gene for which the symbol fas is proposed. Field trials comparing the fasciated mutant with its non-fasciated isoline showed that fasciation was associated with lower yield, larger seeds, delayed flowering and increased lodging.

    Notes: Abstract Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) production has remained static for the past two decades. One major limiting factor has been susceptibility of cultivars to several biotic and abiotic stresses that adversely affect yield. In recent years, cultivars resistant to Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei [Pass.] Lab.), Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris), and cold have been bred and released in many countries. Some progress has been made in breeding for resistance to drought, insects, and cyst nematode, but not for viruses, heat, and salinity. Two or more stresses are of equal importance in most chickpea growing areas. Therefore, future efforts should be directed toward the development of cultivars with multiple-stress resistance. Proper understanding of important stresses in different countries and the genetics of resistance should lead to more systematic approaches to resistance breeding. Wild Cicer species hold promise and deserve attention in resistance breeding.

    Notes: Abstract Breeding for resistance to extremes of temperature and moisture in cool season food legumes is limited by the lack of adequate screening techniques. The success of each technique depends upon the representativeness and reproducibility of the type of stress created. Descriptions of successful techniques are presented for frost and terminal drought. Development of new screening tests designed to select for specific adaptive traits require a better knowledge of the mechanisms of resistance in these crops, especially to drought. Rooting depth, early vigor, reduced branching, and osmotic adjustment are discussed. Other mechanisms of resistance to drought, heat, freezing, or chilling have been proposed but need to be studied jointly by crop physiologists and plant breeders.
