Abstract excerpt
Phytophthora root rot (PRR), caused by Phytophthora medicaginis, is a major soil-borne disease of chickpea in Australia. Breeding for PRR resistance is an effective approach to avoid significant yield loss. Genetic resistance has been identified in cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and in the wild relative C. echinospermum, with previous studies identifying independent genetic loci associated with each of...
