Phenotyping of Lentil Germplasm for Ascochyta Blight Resistance in Ethiopia [PDF]

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is the most important food legume crop in the cereal-based cropping system. Ascochyta blight (Didymella lentis) is an emerging foliar disease affecting both quality and quantity of lentil crops. Many of the released lentil

Organic intercropping legacy reduces Fusarium pathogens and root rot in subsequent durum wheat

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Intercropping is a sustainable practice becoming increasingly popular in the Canadian Prairies. However, its long‐term impact on diseases in subsequent sole crops is not well understood. We examined root rot and associated fungal communities in durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. ssp.

Root rot suppression mechanisms in lentil promoted by organic intercropping

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Intercropping a grain legume with a grain nonlegume is of increased interest by producers in the Canadian Prairies, especially under organic production where intercropping is an alternative to the lack of economic returns of green manure or summer fallow.

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

Phytopathologia 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

Dissecting Vegetative Period Into Its Phenotypic and Genotypic Components Allows Environment‐Specific Breeding in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT In legumes, flowering time is regulated by genes responsive to temperature and photoperiod, presenting challenges for high‐latitude lentil producers who must adapt cultivars to short growing seasons and extended daylight hours. Therefore, prolonged vegetative periods are favored in those areas.

First Report of Ascochyta Blight Outbreak of Pea Caused by Ascochyta pisi in Spain

Plant Disease, 2008
Characteristic Ascochyta blight lesions were observed on leaves and stems of pea (Pisum sativum L.) ‘Dove’ grown at two sites in the province of Burgos (northern Spain) during May and June of 2005 and 2006. Mean disease severity of affected tissue reached 47% in 2005 and 72% in 2006.

Identification of novel candidate genes for Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea

Scientific Reports
Ascochyta blight, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Ascochyta rabiei, is a major threat to chickpea production worldwide. Resistance genes with broad-spectrum protection against virulent A.

In planta identification of putative pathogenicity factors from the chickpea pathogen Ascochyta rabiei by de novo transcriptome sequencing using RNA-Seq and Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The most important foliar diseases in legumes worldwide are ascochyta blights. Up to now, in the Ascochyta-legume pathosystem most studies focused on the identification of resistance genes in the host, while very little is known about the pathogenicity ...
