Chickpea is a grain legume often grown in rotation with cereal crops to enhance profitability and environmental sustainability of broadacre cropping systems in Australia, and elsewhere. Chickpea is sensitive to salinity, and thus can not be grown on soils affected even by mild salinity. Limited grain legume options currently exist for these soils. This project will improve salt tolerance in chickpea and thus allow it to be grown in areas too saline for current cultivars. The research contributes to the National Research Priority of 'An Environmentally Sustainable Australia', as new cultivars of chickpea with improved salt tolerance will enhance the profitability and sustainability of rotational cropping systems in Australia.

鹰嘴豆是一种谷物豆科植物，通常与谷类作物轮作，以提高澳大利亚和其他地区大面积种植系统的盈利能力和环境可持续性。鹰嘴豆对盐碱敏感，因此即使在轻度盐碱影响的土壤上也不能生长。目前在这些土壤中存在着有限的豆类作物选择。该项目将提高鹰嘴豆的耐盐性，从而使其能够在对现有品种来说盐分过高的地区种植。这项研究有助于“澳大利亚环境可持续发展”的国家研究重点，因为鹰嘴豆新品种具有更好的耐盐性，将提高澳大利亚轮作制度的盈利能力和可持续性。
