Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) battling against heat stress: plant breeding and genomics advances.
Review in Plant molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Global climate change, particularly the increasing frequency and intensity of heat stress, poses a significant threat to crop productivity. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) employs various physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms to cope with elevated temperatures, including maintaining leaf chlorophyll content to preserve the functional integrity of photosystem II (PSII) and enhancing canopy temperature depression to reduce overheating. These traits are crucial for sustaining photosynthetic efficiency, plant health, and yield stability under heat stress. Recent advances in multi-omics approaches-including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics-have enhanced our understanding of the genetic basis of heat stress tolerance in chickpea. These tools have facilitated the identification of key genes and molecular pathways involved in heat stress responses. Functional characterization of these genes has provided insights into their roles within the complex metabolic and signaling networks that underpin heat resilience. This review explores integrating conventional and modern breeding technologies with high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) platforms to accelerate genetic gains in chickpea under heat stress. HTP tools enable rapid, precise screening of heat-resilient traits, facilitating early selection of superior genotypes. We also highlight recent genomic advancements, including genome-wide association studies, whole-genome resequencing, and pangenome assemblies, which have uncovered novel structural variants, candidate genes, and haplotypes associated with heat tolerance. Leveraging these resources in conjunction with functional analyses offers new opportunities for breeding climate-resilient chickpea cultivars capable of delivering stable yields and quality under adverse conditions. These developments are crucial for safeguarding chickpea productivity and ensuring global food and nutrition security amid climate change.
