  abstract = {{C}hickpea crops are often exposed to a combination of drought, heat and salinity stresses during the reproductive stage. {P}revious efforts have largely focused on these stresses in isolation, such that we do not understand whether genotypes tolerant to one stress can withstand other stresses. {A}round 22-44 chickpea genotypes contrasting for tolerance to drought, salinity or heat in previous studies were exposed to terminal drought ({TD}, 3 experiments) and to salinity ({SAL}, 1 experiment). {A} priori stress tolerance to any of the listed stresses was generally reflected in drought and salinity tolerance in the present study. {T}hus, the drought-, heat- and salt-tolerant groups ({DT}, {HT} and {ST}) produced higher seed yield, had earlier phenology, higher harvest indices and seed yield transpiration efficiencies compared with sensitive groups ({DS}, {HS} and {SS}). {H}owever, tolerance did not select for prescriptive water use patterns. {D}espite our efforts to remove the confounding effects of phenology, 4-9 days variation in flowering time made a significant difference in productivity and differentiated tolerant from sensitive counterparts. {I}n {TD}1, {TD}2 and {SAL}, all tolerant groups yielded similarly under stress conditions. {T}his showed the existence of cross-tolerance in chickpea where tolerant genotype selected for an individual stress can yield well under other stresses too.},
