Discussion<br />
S. Hanounik<br />
Do you have any plans to improve frost tolerance of ILC 482 through crossing<br />
with say ILC 202 which according to your data was rated I at different stages<br />
of frost occurrence?<br />
K.B. Singh<br />
After identifying ILC 202 as frost tolerant, we have utilized this genotype in<br />
crossing with ILC 482 and other high-yielding lines. Our biggest dilemma at<br />
the moment is how to screen for frost tolerance in segregating generations<br />
especially in view of the uncertainty of occurrence of late frost. While selecting<br />
plants in segregating generations for other characters, hopefully, we may<br />
inadvertently select for frost tolerance. Once screening methods are devised,<br />
evaluation will be easy.<br />
M. Kamal<br />
Is it better to do screening for cold tolerance in a chickpea growing area where<br />
frost occurs more frequently?<br />
K.B. Singh<br />
Yes, that would provide more reliable information. But do we know such<br />
places? My request to the participants would be to let us know if there are<br />
places where late frost isof common occurrence and chickpeas can be grown.
