those, the resistance of ILC 72, ILC 196, and ILC
2956 was eroded under field conditions because
of the appearance of new pathotypes (Atik et al.
2011; Imtiaz et al. 2011). Malhotra et al. (2003)
reported the development of more than 3,000
lines with moderate AB resistance. Furthermore,
2,576 resistant lines (rating

The identification of resistant accessions from
C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum is of par-
ticular importance because they are in the same
primary gene pool (Knights et al. 2008). Reports
show that high resistance to AB is more fre-
quent in C. judaicum than in other annual wild
Cicer species. Unfortunately this species belongs
to the secondary gene pool, making it diffi-
cult to introduce resistance genes into the culti-
vated chickpea, although Verma and colleagues
(1995) obtained fertile F1 from a cross between
C. arietinum and C. judaicum . To our knowl-
edge no commercial varieties carrying genes
of resistance to AB from wild Cicer species
have been registered. However, a few breeding
lines recently developed by ICARDA and dis-
tributed to National Agriculture Research Sys-
tem (NARS) partners as part of the International
AB Nursery (CIABN) include lines containing
genes from wild C. reticulatum accessions.
Despite the fact that the pathogen is highly
variable, good progress in breeding cultivars
with improved AB resistance has been made
by NARS in many countries (Chen et al. 2004;
Sabaghpour et al. 2006; Siddique et al. 2007a;
Siddique et al. 2007b; Singh et al. 2009).

4 on a 1-9 scale)
derived from 8,660 bulk populations evaluated
from 2000 to 2009 at ICARDA were added to this
list (Dr. M. Imtiaz, personal communication).
Because the pathogen is evolving and with the
presence of highly virulent pathotype IV (Imtiaz
et al. 2011), it is mandatory to search for new
sources of resistance, especially from the wild
gene pool.
Resistance to AB was identified in different
accessions of wild Cicer species ( C. bijugum,
C. judaicum, C. pinnatifidum, C. echinosper-
mum, C. reticulatum, C. cuneatum, and C. mont-
bretti ) (Singh et al. 1981; Singh and Reddy 1993;
Singh et al. 1998; Collard et al. 2001, Collard
et al. 2003; Nguyen et al. 2005). Danehloueipour
and colleagues (2007) reported that wild Cicer
accessions in C. reticulatum and C. echinosper-
mum may have major or minor resistant genes
different from those in the cultivated chickpea.
