“…Almost all the released leafminerresistant chickpeas and wild chickpeas had multipinnate leaves with small and thin leaflets [8,37,38]. Clement et al [39] underlined that breeding for polygenic resistance, combining insect repellency (antixenosis), toxicity (antibiosis), and tolerance, could slow the breakdown of plant resistance to chickpea insects. Three categories of insect resistance in legumes were described by Edwards and Singh [40] as follows: (i) structural defenses, (ii) secondary metabolites, and (iii) anti-nutritional compounds.…”

The chickpea leafminer, Liriomyza cicerina (Rondani), is one of the most destructive insect pests of cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in the Mediterranean region under field conditions. For sustainable and environmentally friendly chickpea production, efforts have been devoted to managing the leafminer via decreasing the use of insecticides. Breeding of new resistant varieties is not only an efficient and practical approach, but also cost-effective and environmentally sensitive. To improve resistant varieties, breeders need reliable biochemical selection criteria that can be used in breeding programs. The first objective was to investigate the possible introgression of resistance to the leafminer from C. reticulatum Ladiz. (resistant) to C. arietinum (susceptible), then, to estimate inheritance of resistance to the leafminer for efficient breeding strategies, and finally, to study organic acid contents as selection criteria. Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and their parents were evaluated using a visual scale of 1–9 (1 = free from leafminer damage and 9 = mines in more than 91% of the leaflets and defoliation greater than 31%) in the field under natural infestation conditions after the susceptible parent and check had scores of >7 on the visual scale. Superior RILs were found for resistance to the leafminer, and agro-morphological traits indicating that introgression of resistance to leaf miner from C. reticulatum to C. arietinum could be possible using interspecific crosses. The inheritance pattern of resistance to the leafminer in RILs was shown to be quantitative. Organic acids, including oxalic, malic, quinic, tartaric, citric and succinic acids in RILs grown in the field under insect epidemic conditions and in the greenhouse under non-infested conditions were detected by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In general, organic acids were found to be higher in resistant RILs than susceptible RILs. Path and correlation coefficients showed that succinic acid exhibited the highest direct effects on resistance to the leafminer. Multivariate analyses, including path, correlation and factor analyses suggested that a high level of succinic acid could be used as a potential biochemical selection criterion for resistance to leafminer in chickpea. Resistant RILs with a high seed yield resembling kabuli chickpea can be grown directly in the target environments under leaf miner infestation conditions.

“…The cultivars BRS Aleppo (491.54 kg ha -1 ) and Jamu 96, (497.61 kg ha -1 ) showed the highest grain yields, while BRS Cícero (258.04 kg ha -1 ) had the lowest one (Table 4). Morphological characteristics such as pod hardness and wall thickness may be related to plant resistance and hence result in less damage to plants (Clement, El-din, Weigand, & Lateef, 1994;Sreelatha, Sharma, & Gowda, 2018). The highest grain yield in BRS Aleppo and Jamu 96 may be associated with their productive potentials.…”

Resistance of chickpea cultivars to Chloridea virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

et al. 2022

Chickpea is a legume with nutrient-rich grains important for human feeding. Tobacco budworm, Chloridea virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is one of the most major pests of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Brazil. This pest damages leaves, flowers, pods, and grains. Plant resistance to insects is an important tactic of pest management, which usually facilitates and reduce costs of implementing an Integrated Pest Management for farmers. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the resistance in chickpea cultivars to C. virescens. Six chickpea cultivars were evaluated for antixenosis, initial antibiotic parameters, and behavior under field conditions. The cultivars BRS Kalifa and BRS Cícero were less attractive in a free-choice test, while Jamu 96 and BRS Kalifa were less attractive in a no-choice test. BRS Kalifa and BRS Toro leaves had a higher trichome density. Jamu 96 and BRS Toro had higher contents of oxalic and malic acids. C. virescens larvae in BRS Cícero, BRS Toro, and BRS Kalifa showed the lowest weights. Jamu 96 pods were the least damaged, and BRS Aleppo and Jamu 96 had the highest yields. The chickpea cultivars Jamu 96 and BRS Aleppo, which had resistance levels and mechanisms, can be used in integrated pest management programs to control C. virescens.

“…Although these pests are ancient, since there is evidence of bruchid infestation in lentils stored in ancient Egypt and preserved in the British Museum (radiocarbon dated 2,112 ± 48 BP, c. 162 BC) (Burleigh and Southgate 1975), little resistance has been achieved over centuries of cultivation and breeding. Clement et al (1994), in a review on resistance to insect in cool season food legumes, indexed only three publications in relation to lentil, specifically against Aphis craccivora, Bruchus lentis, and Sitona spp. But, according to Clement et al (1994), resistance to B. lentis was ecological, not genetics.…”

Genomic Designing for Biotic Stress Resistant Pulse Crops

Lentils are already one of the main pulses of the world, as they are one of the main sources of protein for humans. As a crop, they are also gaining momentum because the rusticity and tolerance to water scarcity of some varieties are a good fit with the current global warming trend and climate change in general. However, while the harvested area and overall production have drastically increased over the last decades, yield has only experienced very modest increments. The reasons are two-fold. First, pathogens are affecting the crop as never before, likely due to not only the changing climate but also to the expansion of lentil cultivation to new geographic areas. Second, genomics-aided breeding is far behind many other crops. This is in partly due to the lack of genomic tools currently available to researchers. Progress is being made to adopt high-throughput genomic methods, and researchers will be able to tackle lentil gene discovery and breeding for pathogen resistance and other biotic stresses more efficiently in the coming years. We outline the current situation, novel findings, and prospects of lentil research for biotic stresses. IntroductionLentil (Lens culinaris Medik. subsp. culinaris) is one of the first domesticated species in the Fertile Crescent and along with barley, emmer wheat and einkorn wheat, pea, chickpea, and flax was part of the set of crops that defined the beginnings of the Neolithic transition to agriculture in this part of the World. The origin of the cultivated form is the wild L. culinaris subsp. orientalis (Boiss.) Ponert (syn. L. orientalis Boiss.). A recent publication by Liber et al. (2021) suggests that phylogenetics, population structure, and archeological data coincide in a lentil domestication prolonged in time in Southwest Asia, with two different domesticated gene pools.
