[ILSW-s3e3] Ascochyta blight in lentil, with Lars Kamphuis

Lentil, like all pulses, is an important crop that will help address global food security and environmental sustainability worldwide. However, pulses suffer from the devastating fungal disease known as ascochyta blight (AB). In lentil, Ascochyta lentis is responsible for AB which can infect all above-ground parts of the plant, reducing grain quality and yield, and resulting in yield loss of up to 40% under severe infection.

In this webinar, professor Lars Kamphuis gives an overview of his team's research progress to develop an understanding of the host resistance and the key genes for the pathogens.
