Technical Abstract: DNA markers in chickpea have been identified against different races of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris (Foc), but validation of these markers is essential for their effective use in resistant breeding. In view of this, different simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers were analysed in Pakistani germplasm including induced mutants and some local lines. Most of the SSR markers showed good correlation with phenotypic evaluation of genotypes with different races and may be used effectively in resistance breeding except those markers for race 3. Markers for race 3 showed deviation from phenotypic data. The reason might be that race 3 is actually Fusarium proliferatum as reported recently and resistance to race 3 might involve some other major resistance genes. Poor correlation of markers with foc-3 on LG2 in our study and a recent report of independent segregation of foc2 and foc3 in near isogenic lines suggested that linkage distances among different resistant genes need further investigation. Moreover three Pakistani mutant lines (97477, CM444/92 and CM368/93) were found to have complete resistance against races 1A, 2 and 4 and high levels of resistance (11-19% disease incidence) for F. proliferatum (race 3). These genotypes are valuable sources of resistance against Fusarium for resistance breeding programmes.
