Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is an outcrossing, wind-pollinated species exhibiting a gametophytic two-locus system of self-incompatibility (S and Z). The two incompatibility loci were genotyped in a cro...
Article
Genetic diversity in Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr., the causative agent of ascochyta blight of chickpea, was determined using 37 Indian, five American (USA), three Syrian, and two Pakistani isolates. A total of ...
Article
The ascochyta blight resistance of 14 chickpea cultivars, 29 imported chickpea lines and 38 local breeding lines to four Australian isolates of Ascochyta rabiei was investigated. Each isolate was tested individua...
Chapter
The genus Cicer encompasses 34 wild perennial species, 8 annual wild species, and one annual cultivated species. Most of these species are found in the West Asia and North African region covering Turkey in the no...
Chapter
This paper reviews the most economically important foliar diseases of chickpea, faba bean, lentil, lupin and pea caused by fungi and viruses. Many of these pathogens are seed-borne which has aided their local ...

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend.: Fr f. sp. ciceris (Padwick) Matuo & Sato is a devastating disease of chickpea. The current study was conducted to determine the inheritance of the gene(s) ...
Article
Several races of Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend.:Fr f. sp. ciceris (Padwick) Matuo and K. Sato cause economic losses from wilting disease of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.). While the genetics of resistance to ...
Article
The genome of the fungal chickpea pathogen Ascochyta rabiei was screened for polymorphisms by microsatellite-primed PCR. While ethidium-bromide staining of electrophoretically separated amplification products sh...
Book
A global perspective of peristent constraints and of opportunities and strategies for further increasing the productivity and use of pea, lentil, faba bean, chickpea and grasspea in different farming systems
Chapter
The discussion had representatives from both Canada and the USA. While the USA was the major producer of cool season food legumes in North America two decades ago, Canada now far surpasses the USA in both prod...
Chapter
Wild species which are crossable to cultivated pea, lentil, and chickpea have been collected and are maintained in major germplasm collections throughout the world. Wild species of Vicia crossable to the cultivat...
Chapter
Ascochyta blight of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) incited by Ascochyta rabiei was first observed in the United States in chickpea germplasm evaluation trials at Pullman, Washington, in 1983. In 1984, Ascochyta bligh...

Screening techniques are an important component of the overall strategy of breeding for resistance to diseases in cool season food legumes. Suitable screening methods have been developed for several major foli...
Chapter
The cool season food legumes are seriously affected by diseases and pests that collectively cause yield reductions variously estimated at over 50% on a world wide basis. The use of host plant resistance to inc...
