Various levels of resistance to cyst nematodes have been detected in chickpea and pea. Resistance has also been identified in chickpea, faba bean, and pea to the root-knot nematodes . Broad based durable sources of resistance to plant parasitic nematodes are required . Basic research is needed to develop transgenic plants with resistance based on hatch stimulants, inhibitors, toxins, or repellents found in antagonistic rhizosphere microorganisms . Selection of genotypes that favor development of beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms or root endophytes that increase the plant resistance to nematode infection deserves attention Springer 1994 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/4709/1/Euphytica_73_59-66_1994.pdf Sharma, S B and Sikora, R A and Greco, N and Vito, M Di and Caubel, G (1994) Screening techniques and sources of resistance to nematodes in cool season food legumes.
