Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei (syn. Phoma rabiei ), is one of the two most destructive diseases of chickpea, resulting in complete loss of yield in some cases. We isolated a fungal strain from diseased chickpea in Ethiopia, with symptoms diagnosed as Ascochyta bli…
The productivity of chickpea has not been markedly improved through conventional breeding. The main problem for increasing yield is the susceptibility of the plant to the disease caused by the ascomycete Ascochyta rabiei. Because genetic markers may speed up chickpea breeding fo…
The chickpea is an ancient crop that is still important in both developed and developing nations. This authoritative account by international experts covers all aspects of chickpea breeding and management, and the integrated pest management and biotechnology applications that ar…
