Cross inoculation assays confirms grass pea/pea phylogeny proximity also at Fusarium oxysporum host range level

Trabajo presentado en el 15th Congress of the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union (Plant health sistaining Mediterranean ecosystems), celebrado en Córdoba (España) del 20 al 23 de junio de 2017.Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) has considerable potential as legume crop in dryland farming systems. It is superior in yield, protein value, nitrogen fixation, drought, flood and salinity tolerance when compared to other legume crops. However, yield inconsistency due to sensitivity to specific diseases strongly limits its cultivation.This research was supported by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT, Portugal) through the grant PD/BD/114418/2016, the IF/01337/2014 FCT Investigator contract and the Research unit GREEN-it “Bioresources for Sustainability” (UID/Multi/04551/2013), the QuaLaty project (PTDC/AGR-TEC/0992/2014) and by the European Community Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) through the LEGATO project (grant agreement n°FP7-613551).Peer reviewe
