Description

Akhilesh Sharma and co-authors bred new pea lines that resist powdery mildew, a major disease of the crop, in work published in 2024. The catalog lists 2025, but the text head gives 2024, so that year is used here. Two popular pea varieties were treated with radiation or a chemical to create mutations.

Thousands of offspring were screened over seasons and sites. Three mutant lines held up as resistant in field, greenhouse, and leaf tests. Gene markers showed one line likely carries the first known resistance gene and another the second. A third line matched no known marker, which hints at a new source. The authors offer the lines as breeding material for future pea programs.
