“…Most of the faba bean cultivars are susceptible to different fungus races. The pathogen is also highly variable so, breeding for durable resistance to chocolate spot a major challenge [12,13]. The symptoms of the disease appear in the form of small chocolate spots on the leaves.…”

Faba bean (Vicia fabae L.) is one of the most economic legume crops in Egypt. The antifungal effects of different concentrations of Chitosan and silver nanoparticles (20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, 80 ppm and 100 ppm) were studied against aggressive isolates of Botrytis fabae and Alternaria alternata causing chocolate spot disease and Alternaria leaf spot disease respectively. Under laboratory conditions, the application of five concentrations of Chitosan nanoparticles and silver nanoparticles to the cultures of B. fabae and A. alternata showed significant inhibition of mycelial growth. Number of spores/ml decreased with increasing of nanoparticle concentration. Mycelial weight of fungal pathogens also decreased. The lesion growth was suppressed by increasing in the concentration of nanoparticles with significantly different relative to control using detached leaf test. Under greenhouse conditions, chitosan and silver nanoparticles were sprayed in concentrations 60 ppm, 80 ppm, and 100 ppm on faba bean plants. The tested nanoparticles showed significant effect against B. fabae and A. alternata relative to control. The obtained results indicated that the highest reduction of chocolate spot severity was obtained with treatment by 100 ppm of silver nanoparticles (52.94%) followed by chitosan nanoparticles 80 ppm (50.59%). While the application of 100 ppm of chitosan nanoparticles was highly efficient against Alternaria leaf spot where the reduction in disease severity (67.13%) followed by 100 ppm silver nanoparticles which caused reduction rate (61.5%). The obtained results indicated the possibility of using chitosan and silver nanoparticles as a substance in the manufacturing of fungicides to minimize the impact of chocolate spot and Alternaria leaf spot diseases in faba bean. However, further experimental trials under field conditions and safety evaluation studies are needed before the nanoparticles types and concentrations can be used as potential antifungal agents.

“…RAPDs closely linked to monogenic characters (e.g. hypersensitive resistance to rust or low tannins, or vicine and convicine contents) have been transformed into CAPs or SCARs to enable the efficient transfer of these genes into selected genotypes (2,10,11,12). However, a clear-cut aplication of these markers is still not possible, due to their unpredictable transferrability to different genetic backgrounds.…”

“…The rest of the accessions did not allow the fungus to develop. In contrast, susceptibility was very common in V. faba (Sillero et al 2001), although some accessions resistant to A. fabae have also been described in the cultivated crop (Sillero et al 2010;Rubiales et al 2012).…”

“…Disease control through crop rotation, clean seed and chemical treatment is not completely effective (Stoddard et al 2010) and the development of resistant cultivars is widely recognized as the most efficient method of control. Several sources of resistance to A. fabae have been identified and used in faba bean breeding programs (Sillero et al 2001(Sillero et al , 2010Rubiales et al 2012) although none resulted in complete resistance.…”

“…It is a disease present in almost each area of the world where faba bean is grown. Several methods of rust control have been developed, but the use of genetic resistance is a more desirable and efficient strategy for the rust control (Sillero et al 2010). U. viciae-fabae also infects species of the genera Vicia, Pisum, Lathyrus and Lens (Hiratsuka 1933;Kapooria & Sinha 1971;Conner & Bernier 1982;Kushwaha et al 2006).…”

Sillero J.C., Rubiales D. (2014): Response of Vicia species to Ascochyta fabae and Uromyces viciae-fabae. Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 50: 109-115.A collection of 267 accessions belonging to 61 Vicia species other than V. faba was screened under growth chamber conditions for response to Ascochyta fabae and Uromyces viciae-fabae, causal agents of ascochyta blight and faba bean rust, respectively. High resistance to both diseases was very frequently detected in Vicia spp. in contrast to the high susceptibility previously reported in most V. faba accessions. Most of the Vicia spp. accessions studied here were very resistant or even immune to A. fabae with only one per cent of the accessions allowing development of small lesions bearing pycnidia. High resistance or immunity to U. viciae-fabae was also frequently found in the collection, with only ten per cent of the accessions showing compatible interaction although with reduced disease severity. These findings reinforce the specificity of A. fabae and U. viciae-fabae and clarify the potential role of cultivated and wild Vicia spp. in the epidemiology of these faba bean diseases.
