Plant Habit
Chickpea is a herbaceous annual plant which
is mostly covered with glandular or non
glandular hairs.
Based on seed size and color, cultivated
chickpeas are of two types
1. Macrosperma (kabuli type): Large (100-
seed mass >25 g), round or ramhead,
and cream - colored.
2. Microsperma (desi type): small and
angular in shape. The seed color varies
from cream, black, brown, yellow to
green.
 • Chickpea seeds have a seed coat, two cotyledons,
and an embryo. The seed coat consists of two layers,
the outer testa and the inner tegmen, and a hilum.
The hilum is the point of attachment of the seed to
the pod.
• The embryo consists of an axis and two fleshy
Seed and it’s cotyledons (Fig. 1b to d). The pointed end of the axis
is the radicle and the feathery end the plumule.
Germination • Chickpea seeds germinate at an optimum
temperature (28-33°C). Germination begins with
absorption of moisture and swelling of the seed. The
radicle emerges first followed by the plumule (Fig. 1e
to i). The growth of the plumule produces an erect
shoot and leaves, and the radicle grows to produce
the roots.
