Present Status of the IPHR on Chickpea in Morocco<br />

Since 1979 several different chickpea populations have been field tested. In<br />

these populations only natural selection has occurred. These populations have<br />

been compared with their original parent populations to see whether any improvement<br />

in resistance to A. rabiei. had taken place (Tab. 1).<br />

All populations show a significant increase in resistance compared with their<br />

subsequent parent popt<strong>ii</strong>.tions. The ICARDA score used for this evaluation is<br />

not enough to discover '._'her transgressive segregation has occurred, resulting<br />

in individual plants with a resistance higher than that of their parents. Some<br />

selections have already been tested in seedling tests and their levels of resistance<br />

have been compared with the resistance levels of their original parents. Of 50<br />

selections tested, 10 show resistance levels in the seedling test which is significantly<br />

higher (P
