Abstract
The inheritance of resistance to chickpea (C. arietinum L.) wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri race 1 (Hyderabad) was studied in a set of diallel crosses among 5 resistant and 2 susceptible cultivars at Hyderabad. Studies of F1, F2, and F3 of the 3 crosses involving the resistant parents CPS-1 and WR-315, and the susceptible parent C-104, indicated that resistance was conferred by a single recessive allele at the same locus in the 2 resistant parents. The resistance was successfully transferred from WR-315, CPS-1 and other resistant cultivars to a wide range of genetic backgrounds by hybridization and pedigree and bulk selection.
