OXYSPORUM F. SP. CICERIS ISOLATES FROM CHICKPEA IN TURKEY
HARUN
BAYRAKTAR AND FATMA SARA DOLAR
Abstract:
The
isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris,
representing eight provinces located in four regions of Turkey were
analyzed for pathogenic variability on a set of 10 differential
cultivars of chickpea viz., JG 62, C 104, JG 74, CPS 1, BG 212, WR 315,
Annigeri, Chafa, L 550, 850-3/27. All isolates were identified as races
0, 2 and 3.
Races 0 and 2 were widely found among the isolates representing Black
Sea, Aegean and Mediterranean regions. Races 0 and 3 were found in
chickpea growing areas of South Eastern Anatolia region. This study is
the first extensive research for determination of race distribution of
Fusarium wilt isolates obtained from the important chickpea
growing areas in different regions of Turkey. These data will be useful
in breeding programmes of chickpea cultivars resistant to Fusarium
wilt.
