Abstract
,iVork is in progress at ICRISAT to identify and incorporate resistance to Fusariuni wilt, Ascschyta blight, Botrytis g:e/ rnsuld and stunt, which are considered to be most damaging to the chickpea crop. Fusariun wilt resistance has been incorporated into high y;eld:n3 tlcsi and knhirli backgrounds, using donors identified as highly resistant at ICRIS4T and other cjnters anl screening breed- Ing materials in wilt;lc'c plots. M )re recf:nt;y, w3 have obtained evidence of complenientarity between recessive genes csnfxring rd;ijta2ca injicating the possibility of obtaining highly resistant segregants from crossbs among moderately susceptible genotypes, thus making available a much wider range of backgrounds than hithxto rele3sed. The inheritance of the other diseases is not well ,understood. Ascochyta blight resistance is reported to be monogenic and either dominant or rezessivz; manogenic inhetitanse m3y also occur for chickpea stunt. Crosses have been made to incorporate resistance to the other diseases into acla,3ted bazkgiounds and segrdaating p~pulations screened in field nurseries in India and elsewhere.
