Tastier, more nutritious, climate-resistant chana soon, thanks to study led by India’s ICRISAT -Samyak Pandey

Scientists from around the world have used genome sequencing to help produce new varieties of chickpea, which are expected to give increased yields at about similar input cost.

New Delhi: Research led by scientists from International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in India is set to help produce more chickpea or chana, and make it more nutritious and climate-change resistant.

The worldwide research project has made it possible to cultivate new varieties of one of the most consumed pulses in the world, in a number of forms. These varieties are expected to give increased yields of chana at about similar input costs to current varieties, and the new crop is set to be less susceptible to damage, as well as tastier.
