Five desi (GL 12,021, GL 29,095, GL 29,078, H11 22 and CSJ 515) and three wild (GLW 22, GLW 58 and GLW 187) chickpea cultivars showed induced defense response against Helicoverpa armigera infestation as a result of enhanced activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, tyrosine ammonia lyase in leaves, pod walls and seeds. Catalase activity increased in leaves of GL 12,021, H11 22, GL 29,095, CSJ 515, GLW 22, and GL 29,078 after infestation compared to resistant check; catalase and peroxidase activities in GL 29,095 and GL 29,078; ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities in leaves of GLW 58. The increased activity of superoxide dismutase in pod wall of H1122; catalase in pod wall of 29,078, GL 29,095 and GL 22; ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase in pod wall of GLW 58; phenylalanine ammonia lyase and tyrosine ammonia lyase in pod wall of GLW 187, H11 22, GL 20,978, GLW 22 and GLW 58 after infestation as compared to resistant check might be responsible for mitigating infestation induced oxidative stress. MDA content decreased in leaves, pod wall and seeds of GLW 187 and GL 12,021 after infestation. Lower percent pod damage (9.58–12.44%) in GL 12,021, GLW 187, GL 29,095, H11 22, GL 29,078, GLW 22 and GLW 58 as compared to resistant (16.18%) and susceptible (21.50) checks might be attributed to differential induced defense mechanism in them. The identified desi and wild genotypes might be used in breeding program to develop cultivars with improved resistance to herbivore.

五个 desi（GL 12,021、GL 29,095、GL 29,078、H11 22 和 CSJ 515）和三个野生（GLW 22、GLW 58 和 GLW 187）鹰嘴豆品种对棉铃虫表现出诱导防御反应由于叶、荚壁和种子中的超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶、多酚氧化酶、苯丙氨酸氨裂解酶、酪氨酸氨裂解酶的活性增强而引起的侵染。与抗性对照相比，侵染后 GL 12,021、H11 22、GL 29,095、CSJ 515、GLW 22 和 GL 29,078 的叶片中过氧化氢酶活性增加；GL 29,095 和 GL 29,078 中的过氧化氢酶和过氧化物酶活性；GLW 58叶片中的抗坏血酸过氧化物酶和谷胱甘肽还原酶活性。H1122荚果壁中超氧化物歧化酶活性增加；荚壁中的过氧化氢酶为 29,078、GL 29,095 和 GL 22；GLW 58荚果壁中的抗坏血酸过氧化物酶和谷胱甘肽还原酶；GLW 187、H11 22、GL 20,978 荚果壁中的苯丙氨酸氨裂解酶和酪氨酸氨裂解酶，与抗性检查相比，感染后的 GLW 22 和 GLW 58 可能是减轻感染诱导的氧化应激的原因。侵染后 GLW 187 和 GL 12,021 的叶片、荚壁和种子中的 MDA 含量降低。与耐药 (16.18%) 和易感 (21.50) 检查相比，GL 12,021、GLW 187、GL 29,095、H11 22、GL 29,078、GLW 22 和 GLW 58 的豆荚损伤百分比较低 (9.58–12.44%) 可能归因于差异在它们中诱导防御机制。已鉴定的 desi 和野生基因型可用于育种计划，以开发对食草动物具有更高抗性的栽培品种。44%）在 GL 12,021、GLW 187、GL 29,095、H11 22、GL 29,078、GLW 22 和 GLW 58 中与耐药（16.18%）和易感（21.50）检查相比可能归因于它们中的差异诱导防御机制。已鉴定的 desi 和野生基因型可用于育种计划，以开发对食草动物具有更高抗性的栽培品种。44%）在 GL 12,021、GLW 187、GL 29,095、H11 22、GL 29,078、GLW 22 和 GLW 58 中与耐药（16.18%）和易感（21.50）检查相比可能归因于它们中的差异诱导防御机制。已鉴定的 desi 和野生基因型可用于育种计划，以开发对食草动物具有更高抗性的栽培品种。
