Marker trait correlation study for fusarium wilt resistance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum)

The investigation was focused on transfer of the Fusarium wilt resistance into elite cultivar. Screening of chickpea parents (ICC 506 EB and Vijay), 196 RIL’s (Obtained from ICRISAT, Hyderabad), F2and BC1F1 populations for Fusarium wilt resistance were done by Pot culture method and wilt sick plot method. The BC1F1 segregated in 1:1 ratio for resistance and susceptibility and F2 progenies segregated in a ratio of 1 resistant and 3 susceptible.
