Relationship between seed yield and seed chemical composition in Kabuli chickpea under semiarid Mediterranean conditions

The chemical composition of chickpea seeds is modified by cultivar and environment. This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between the seed protein, lipid, starch and sugar concentrations of kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum l.) and the seed yield under semiarid Mediterranean condi...

Summary:The chemical composition of chickpea seeds is modified by cultivar and environment. This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between the seed protein, lipid, starch and sugar concentrations of kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum l.) and the seed yield under semiarid Mediterranean conditions. Four kabuli chickpea cultivars (3 improved and one local) were grown under rainfed conditions in northern Jordan for two growing seasons. Significant differences were noted between the cultivars for each character except fructose concentration. Seed yield, and the seed protein, lipid, glucose and fructose concentrations were significantly affected by the growing season.
