Cicer arietinum, commonly known as chickpea, is an important legume traditionally used in various cuisines across the Mediterranean, Middle East, and South Asia. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, research has shown promising results. Studies indicate that foliar applications of biogenic iron oxide and copper nanoparticles can enhance chickpea growth parameters and help mitigate salinity stress, though the effects vary depending on nanoparticle type and concentration. Additionally, chickpea extracts have been found to reduce blood glucose levels by 18.6% to 22.8% in diabetic rats, improving lipid profiles, liver enzymes, and oxidative stress markers. Genomic research has identified 33 ARF genes in chickpea that provide insights into leaf development under drought conditions, suggesting potential for improved drought tolerance. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been noted to date.
