FIGURE 1.

Frequency distribution of Ascochyta blight (AB) disease scores in 116 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of the AB₃₂₇₉ chickpea population developed from a cross between “ILC1929” and “ILC3279.” The mean disease score was used to calculate the frequency distribution of disease severity for pathotypes I and II under greenhouse (A), and fields conditions at Kfarshakhna in 2015 and 2018 (B), and Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) Ludhiana in 2017 (C). The arrows represent the mean scores of the resistant “ILC3279” and susceptible “ILC 1929” parents.
