However, these crops are affected by a number of foliar and root diseases, being ascochyta blights the most important group of diseases worldwide. Ascochyta blights are incited by different pathogens in the various legumes. A number of control strategies have been developed including resistance breeding, cultural practices and chemical control. However, only marginal successes have been achieved in most instances, most control methods being uneconomical, hard to achieve or resulting in incomplete protection. This eBook covers recent advances in co-operative research on these diseases, from agronomy to breeding, covering traditional and modern genomic methodologies. 610 $aMedicago truncatula 610 $aChickpea (Cicer arietinum) 610 $aDisease Resistance 610 $aPea (Pisum sativum) 610 $alegumes 610 $aLentil (Lens culinaris) 610 $aAscochyta blight 700 $aWeidong Chen$4auth$01296325 702 $aJennifer Davidson$4auth 702 $aDiego Rubiales$4auth 702 $aSara Fondevilla$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346758903321 996 $aAdvances in Ascochyta Research$93024003 997 $aUNINA
