Objective:
Identify accessions of wild relatives of chickpea with diverse mechanisms of resistance to pod borers. Identify parents for developing molecular mapping population for resistance to pod borers, and introgression of resistance genes into locally adapted cultivars.

Approach:
Evaluate the accessions belonging to annuals species as C. judaicum (18), C. pinnatifidium (8), C. bijugum (16), C. reticulatum (13), C. chorassicum (1), and C. echinospermum (5) along with resistant and susceptible checks (5) of cultivated chickpea for resistance to H. armigera at ICRISAT.
