Biochemical Changes in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Plants Induced by Flooding
Abstract: Flooding is a significant environmental stressor that affects the growth, development, and productivity of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), a crucial pulse crop grown worldwide, especially in India. This study investigates the biochemical changes in chickpea plants subjected to prolonged and sudden flooding. Key parameters analyzed include carbohydrate metabolism, protein content, chlorophyll levels, amylase activity, and proline accumulation. Results show that flooding significantly reduces total sugar content in leaves, stems, and …
