Genetic improvement through induced mutation has been very effective in improvement of crops. Seeds of three popular chickpea variety namely BGM 408, B115 and JG 315 were treated with 10,20 and 30 kR of gamma rays. Then treated seeds with their respective control(0 kR gamma rays) were sown in the field of Calcutta University experimental farm,Baruipur (with no salinity) in three consecutive years to raise M1, M2 and M3 generations respectively.Some M3 lines having higher yield potential were subjected to grow as M4 lines in salt stressed field (5-7ds m-1) of Hingalganj,South 24 Parganas. Finally, some promising salt tolerant lines with improved seed yield were selected which have a good promise for coastal saline belt after releasing as a variety.

In vitro regeneration studies compatible to Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation were carried out using two different types of zygotic embryo derived explants namely, decapitated embryo (DE) and decapitated embryo with single cotyledon disc (DEC) from three varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) such as BARI chhola-4, -5 and -9 cultivated in Bangladesh. The best responses towards in vitro shoot regeneration was obtained from decapitated embryo with DEC on MS containing 0.5 mg/l BAP, 0.5 mg/l Kn and 0.2 mg/l NAA. Healthy and effective roots from the regenerated shoots were developed on MS supplemented with 0.2 mg/l IBA. Genetic transformation was carried out with Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 containing the binary plasmid pCAMBIA1301- PDH45 to integrate salt tolerant PDH45 gene in locally grown varieties of chickpea. The transformed plantlets were successfully established in soil following adequate hardening. Integration of salt tolerant PDH45 gene within the genomic DNA was confirmed through GUS histochemical assay and PCR analysis.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 28(1): 125-140, 2018 (June)

Photosynthetic processes in mature and senescent leaves of chickpea (<em>Cicer arietinum</em> L.) have been compared. With age, leaf photosynthetic pigments viz. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids, and rate of 14°C fixation were considerably affected. Analysis of δ<sup>13</sup>C, and short term photosynthetic products showed no major change in the path of photosynthetic carbon fixation. Study of long term photosynthetic <sup>14</sup>C assimilation revealed that in old senescent leaves, <sup>14</sup>C incorporation into organic acid and sugar fractions was enhanced.
