OAR@ICRISATNode inoculation: A quick and easy technique to screen pigeonpea for resistance to Phytophthora blightRChandauthorC KSinghauthorVSinghauthorJSinghauthorMSharmaauthorThe petiole on pigeonpea was removed for easy, precise inoculation of node with Phytophthora drechsleri f. sp. cajani. After node inoculation, 96.0% plants were infected compared with 89.0% after stem-cut inoculation. Among various nodes inoculated on 30-day-old plants, the 5th node had the greatest relative susceptibility (90.0%), followed by the 3rd node (78.0%). This technique was validated on different cultivars (ICP 7119, Bahar, MA 6 and MAL 13), and 586 lines were successfully screened in the field, confirming the rapidity and effectiveness of the technique for resistance screening.Pigeonpea2017-09-08Springer NatureArticle
