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 SP - 59 Y1 - 1994/// EP - 66 ID - icrisat4709 KW - chickpea KW - cyst nematodes KW - faba bean KW - lentil KW - pea KW - root-knot nematodes KW - stem nematode JF - Euphytica ER -
