Inheritance of resistance to fusarium wilt in chickpeas

Fusarium wilt of chickpea: physiological specialization, genetics of resistance and resistance gene tagging

“…Early studies on genetics of wilt resistance were restricted to race 1 where it was shown to be inherited by a recessive gene (Ayyar and Iyer 1936;Kumar and Haware 1982;Sindhu et al 1983). With the identiWcation of phenomenon of late wilting in some genotypes susceptible to race 1 (Upadhyaya et al 1983a), the focus was shifted to genetics of late wilting.…”

Complementation between genes for resistance to race 1 of Fusarium oxyspomm f.sp. ciceri in chickpea

“…The conclusion of Sindhu et al (1983) that resistance to fusarium wilt in chickpeas is conditioned by a single recessive gene is clearly unwarranted. The ratios obtained will depend on the genetic constitutions of the particular parents used and on the isolate of the pathogen.…”

Inheritance of resistance to Fusarium wilt (race 2) in chickpea

“…Over 150 resistance sources were identified, of which some were resistant to more than one race (Nene et al 1981, Haware et al 1992. Although a number of reports are available on the inheritance of resistance to race 1 of Fusarium wilt in chickpea (Kumar and Haware 1982, Sidhu et al 1983, Smithson et al 1983, Upadhyaya et al 1983a, only a few reports are available on race 2 of Fusarium wilt. Pathak et al (1975) reported that under field conditions the resistance to race 2 was controlled by a single recessive gene, whereas preliminary findings of Gumber et al (1995) suggested the involvement of two genes.…”
