Abstract

AbstractLittle resistance against Mycosphaerella pinodes is available in pea. In this work 78 accessions of Pisum were screened for resistance to M. pinodes. Fourteen accessions showed a good level of resistance in seedlings under controlled conditions, and in mature plants in the field. The highest levels of resistance were found in P. fuivum, followed by P. sativum ssp. eiatius and P. sativum ssp. syriacum. Resistance of five selected accessions was effective against different isolates of M. pinodes originating from different countries. Resistant accessions reported in this paper have been successfully hybridized with field pea cultivars.
