Metabolite profiling of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in response to necrotrophic fungus Ascochyta rabiei.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ascochyta blight (AB) caused by the necrotrophic fungus Ascochyta rabiei is one of the most significant diseases that limit the production of chickpea. Understanding the metabolic mechanisms underlying chickpea-A.rabiei interactions will provide important clues to develop novel approaches to manage this disease.

Methods

We performed metabolite profiling of the aerial tissue (leaf and stem) of two chickpea accessions comprising a moderately resistant breeding line (CICA1841) and a highly susceptible cultivar (Kyabra) in response to one of the highly aggressive Australian A. rabiei isolates TR9571 via non-targeted metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Results

The results revealed resistance and susceptibil
