Two Cycles of Recurrent Selection Lead to Simultaneous Improvement in Black Spot Resistance and Stem Strength in Field Pea
2008-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to black spot [caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes (Berk. and Blox.) Vestergr.] and weak stem strength in field pea (Pisum sativum L.) are major restrictions to yield, seed quality, and ease of harvest. Previous studies have established that additive genetic variance is present for both traits, and that stem strength is strongly associated with a field test of compressed stem thickness at the base of t...
