The reactions of parents and F 1 and F 2 generations of crosses of chickpea cultivars K‐850 with C‐104 and JG‐62 and F 3 progenies of K‐850 × C‐104 to race 1 of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri were studied. The results indicate that K‐850 carries a recessive allele for resistance at a locus different from and independent of that carried by C‐104 and recessive alleles at both loci together confer complete resistance. The possible contribution of this recessive gene to late wilting in K‐850 is discussed. These observations have important implications in breeding for resistance to wilt in chickpea.
