Key message Integration of genomic technologies with breeding efforts have been used in recent years for chickpea improvement. Modern breeding along with low cost genotyping platforms have potential to further accelerate chickpea improvement efforts. Abstract The implementation of novel breeding technologies is expected to contribute substantial improvements in crop productivity. While conventional breeding methods have led to...

The aim of this study was to identify a fungal pathogen that caused necrotic leaf spots in experimental plots of oat in two remote regions of Hungary, the Southern Great Plain and Central Transdanubia. Two monosporic isolates, one from each region, were subjected to morphological and molecular investigations, and their pathogenicity to oat, barley and wheat seedlings was tested by artificial inoculations. Morphology of culture...
