An Update on Genetic Resistance of Chickpea to Ascochyta Blight (2016, background): “rabiei life cycle contributes to variability within the pathogen population, which may generate a new combination of virulence genes and the development of new pathotypes [11].”
Comparison of the epidemiology of ascochyta blights on grain legumes (2007, background): “In contrast, in Canadian and Australian chickpea fields, infected seeds and chickpea stubble are considered to be the primary sources of inoculum, although airborne ascospores are of relevance for long-distance dispersal (Chongo et al. 2004; Pande et al. 2005).”
Plant microRNA: a small regulatory molecule with big impact. (2006, background): “Pathogen infection causes about a 30% yield loss for a majority of crops and fruits (Zhang et al., 2000; Pande et al., 2005).”
Impact of Genomic Technologies on Chickpea Breeding Strategies (2012, background): “resistance to ascochyta blight [32], BGM [33] and any other disease.”
