Why is it important?
Ascochyta rabiei is a major fungal constrain of chickpea, as it causes the Ascochyta blight of chickpea. During conducive environmental conditions, the pathogen results in 100% crop loss. Thus, it's important to understand the pathogen biology to devise strategies to combat this pathogen.
Perspectives
This publication brings scientific attention to this pathogen and encourages researchers to develop strategies to prevent the plant from fungal infections.
