Pea (Pisum sativum L.) was the original model organism used in Mendel's discovery (1866)
of the laws of inheritance, making it the foundation of modern plant genetics. However …

Yield stability of legume crops is constrained by a number of pest and diseases. Major
diseases are rusts, powdery and downy mildews, ascochyta blights, botrytis gray molds …

Loss‐of‐function alleles of plant‐specific MLO (Mildew Resistance Locus O) genes confer
broad‐spectrum powdery mildew resistance in monocot (barley) and dicot (Arabidopsis …

Pea powdery mildew is an air-borne disease of worldwide distribution. It is particularly
damaging in late sowings or in late maturing varieties. It is caused by Erysiphe pisi, although …

To identify genes involved in phenotypic traits, translational genomics from highly
characterized model plants to poorly characterized crop plants provides a valuable source of …

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the most important and productive cool season pulse crops
grown throughout the world. Biotic stresses are the crucial constraints in harnessing the …
