Abstract
AbstractArtificial hybridization in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a tedious operation with known low rate of success. A study conducted at the University of Saskatchewan showed that crossing success was influenced by parental identity in this crop. Percent pod set to the total flowers pollinated in chickpea crosses was significantly increased when the smaller‐seeded parent was used as the female. Also, success rate increased with the size of the leaf subtending female parent's flowers at the time of crossing.
