Suitable screening methods have been developed for several major foliar diseases of chickpea, pea, faba bean, and lentil, and sources of resistance have been identified. International cooperation plays an important role in promoting research and keeping collections of cultivated species and their wild relatives. New biotechnological approaches are promising for enhancing the practical use of genes for resistance. publisher: Springer date: 1994 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/3271/1/Euphytica_73_1-2_11_-25_1994.pdf.pdf identifier: Porta-Puglia, A and Bernier, C C and Jellis, G J and Kaiser, W J and Reddy, M V (1994) Screening techniques and sources of resistance to foliar diseases caused by fungi and bacteria in cool season food legumes.
