Technical Abstract: Chickpea is a grain legume with valuable nutritional characteristics; it is a basic aliment in Asian countries such as India and Pakistan as well as a traditional ingredient in Mediterranean diet. Biotic stresses such as ascochyta blight and fusarium wilt together with other diseases such as botrytis gray mold or rust are major constraints for stable chickpea productions. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a tool that is significantly augmenting the efficacy and efficiency of chickpea breeding programs. In this chapter, current status and future potentials of genomic tools for chickpea breeding against biotic stresses are reviewed. It also provides an overview of causal agent, host resistance inheritance, gene or QTL mapping, genetic resources and progress in introgression of resistance genes to cultivated chickpea as well as integrated disease management.
