Field pea Ascochyta blight resistance: Germplasm screening, population development, DArTseq genotypes and resistance locus mapping

Field pea (mostly Pisum sativum) accessions were screened with ascochyta blight species Peyronellaea pinodes and Ascochyta koolunga. 513 accessions were screened with both species. Selected accessions were crossed to PBA Gunyah and PBA Oura and resulting RIL populations were further tested with Ascochyta Blight species and genotyped using the DArTseq method. Trait associated loci were determined in a GWAS analysis. The work has been published and supplementary data attached to the paper.
