Breeding for quantitative disease resistance: Case studies, emerging approaches, and exploiting pathogen variation

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Host resistance, using qualitative genes with major effects, such as resistance (R) genes, is one of the most effective disease control strategies. However, because major gene‐derived resistance wanes over time, breeders must increasingly focus on quantitative trait loci and minor effect genes, which, when pyramided together, can confer ...

Assessment of genetic variability and heritability for yield traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a vital pulse crop cultivated globally, especially in arid and semiarid regions. This study aimed to assess genetic variability, heritability, and interrelationships among yield and yield‐related traits in 18 advanced chickpea genotypes using a randomized complete block design with three replications during the

A novel pathogenesis-related protein (LcPR4a) from lentil, and its involvement in defence against Ascochyta lentis

open access: yesPhytopathologia Mediterranea, 2013
A novel pathogenesis-related protein 4 (PR4) encoding gene, LcPR4a, was induced in Lens culinaris following Ascochyta lentis infection. LcPR4a encodes a predicted 146 amino acid protein of 15.8 kDa. The putative LcPR4a protein belongs to the class II PR4

Genomic prediction for heat and herbicide tolerance in faba bean

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) has potential to accelerate the genetic gain in crop plants. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy and potential of GS in faba bean [Vicia faba (L.)] and to enhance its application in breeding programs. A set of 118 diverse faba bean accessions were phenotyped for key agronomic traits under herbicide and heat ...

Rate-Reducing Resistance to Ascochyta Blight in Chickpeas [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Disease, 1993
In a field experiment conducted at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas in Syria during 1982–83, 1983–84, and 1985–86 crop years, disease progress of Ascochyta blight was studied in chickpea cultivars ILC 464, ILC 482, and ILC 3279.

Lentil Ascochyta blight and breeding for its resistance

open access: yesNew Zealand Plant Protection, 2000
This paper summarises existing studies of the genetics of resistance of lentils to Ascochyta blight and the genetic variation among pathogen populations with particular emphasis on the results from our programme Breeding methods are discussed Six pathotypes have been identified Resistance is mainly under the control of major genes but minor genes also ...

An Australian chickpea pan‐genome provides insights into genome organization and offers opportunities for enhancing drought adaptation for crop improvement

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3967-3983, September 2025.
Summary Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crop that has been subjected to intensive breeding, resulting in limited genetic diversity. Australia is the world's second largest producer and the leading exporter of chickpea; the genomic architecture of its cultivars remains largely unexplored.
