Chickpea is winter sown legume crop. In northern India, crop faces chilling stress during the month of January. Chilling stress causes detrimental effects on the reproductive stages of the crop which leads to the abortion of flowers, pod setting and seed yield. Preconditioning is a process in which plants are treated with mild drought stress to induce plant defense system against chilling stress. Effect of preconditioning was studied on five genotypes PBG1, GPF2, PDG3, PDG4 and PBG5. In this experiment, performance was evaluated on the basis of their seed yield. Reproductive structures were studied with the help of compound, scanning electron and confocal microscopy. Results have shown that PBG5 has performed best while PBG1 worst on the basis of seed yield among the five genotypes.
