Screening techniques and sources of resistance against parasitic weeds in grain legumes

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

Faba bean breeding for disease resistance

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

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.
