Journal ArticleDOI
Screening techniques and sources of resistance against parasitic weeds in grain legumes
Diego Rubiales,Alejandro Pérez-de-Luque,Mónica Fernández-Aparico,Josefina C. Sillero,Belen Roman,Mohamed Kharrat,Shaban Khalil,Daniel M. Joel,Charles R. Riches +8 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that the combination of different resistance mechanisms into a single cultivar will provide durable resistance in the field and can be facilitated by the use of invitro screening methods that allow highly heritable resistance components to be identified, together with adoption of marker-assisted selection techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening techniques and sources of resistance to foliar diseases caused by major necrotrophic fungi in grain legumes
Bernard Tivoli,Alain Baranger,Carmen M. Ávila,Sabine Banniza,Martin J. Barbetti,Weidong Chen,Jenny Davidson,Kurt Lindeck,Mohammed Kharrat,Diego Rubiales,Mohamed Sadiki,Josefina C. Sillero,Mark Sweetingham,Fred J. Muehlbauer +13 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the most consistent screening and scoring procedures that are simple to use and provide reliable results in the field and in controlled environments for necrotrophic pathogens of the cool season food legumes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faba bean breeding for disease resistance
Josefina C. Sillero,Ángel M. Villegas-Fernández,Jane Thomas,María M. Rojas-Molina,Amero A. Emeran,Mónica Fernández-Aparicio,Diego Rubiales +6 more
TL;DR: Current and future strategies on breeding faba bean for disease resistance are reviewed and critically discussed and effectiveness of MAS might soon increase with the adoption of new improvements in marker technology and the integration of comparative mapping and functional genomics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faba bean breeding for resistance against biotic stresses: Towards application of marker technology
Ana Maria Torres,Belen Roman,Carmen M. Ávila,Zlatko Šatović,Diego Rubiales,Josefina C. Sillero,Jose Ignacio Cubero,Maria Teresa Moreno +7 more
TL;DR: The state of the art of gene technology for genetic improvement of faba bean against several important biotic stresses is reviewed, special emphasis is given on the application of marker technology, and Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) analysis for Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) in the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercropping with cereals reduces infection by Orobanche crenata in legumes
TL;DR: Field experiments show that O. crenata infection on faba bean and pea is reduced when these host crops are intercropped with oat, and it is suggested that inhibition of O. Crenata seed germination by allelochemicals released by cereal roots is the mechanism for reduction of infection.
