Detection of bruchid-resistant strains in wild adzuki bean germplasm
Description
[Synopsis]
We examined the accessions of wild adzuki bean germplasm to detect the occurrence of bruchid-resistant strains within them. Based on feeding tests by adzuki bean weevil (Callosobruchus chinensis), three wild related species of adzuki bean, V. hirtella. V. umbellata and V. trinervia, exhibited a resistance against the infestation with C. chinensis although other species including cultivated adzuki bean were highly susceptible. We are now attempting to incorporate the resistance gene(s) to adzuki bean.
