OUTLINE
1. SUMMARY
Aphanomyces root rot, a devastating oomycete (a fungal-like protist) pathogen, causes up to 100% yield loss in peas. Pea (Pisum sativum L.) accession PI 180693, a landrace maintained by the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) unit in Pullman, Washington, was found to have resistance to this and other diseases. Genetic resistance from this accession was bred into improved cultivated backgrounds and released to the breeding community for both Aphanomyces root rot and Fusarium root rot. Genetic mapping populations designed to pinpoint chromosomal regions holding genes for disease resistance were developed from PI 180693 and PI 180693-derived lines; these populations enabled the discovery of major resistant genes for both Aphanomyces and Fusarium root rots.
The goal was to release pea germplasm with tolerance or resistance to Aphanomyces root rot, Fusarium root rot, and Fusarium wilt.

2. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED
Peas grown in the field are particularly susceptible to fungal and oomycete rots, especially those attacking roots such as Aphanomyces root rot and Fusarium root rot. These diseases can cause total yield loss, and it is recommended to take peas out of rotation for 4 to 8 years when a field is badly infected. This greatly diminishes the value of peas in crop rotations with cereals, presenting a major problem for the many growing areas in the United States that have few other economically feasible rotation options available.
3. SOLUTIONS DEVELOPED
PI 180693, a pea landrace accession maintained by the NPGS genebank unit in Pullman, Washington, was identified as a source of resistance to Aphanomyces root rot by Kraft (1992). A succession of improved breeding lines for the U.S. dry and fresh pea markets were released containing genes from PI 180693 conferring resistance to Aphanomyces eutiches root rot as well as resistance for Fusarium solani root rot (Kraft, 1992; Kraft & Coffman, 2000; Coyne et al., 2008; McGee et al., 2012) and Fusarium wilt (Kraft & Coffman, 2000).
A major gene providing increased resistance to Aphanomyces root rot was identified from NPGS genebank accession PI 180693 and verified in new lines bred from parent PI 557501 (derived from PI 180693) and a susceptible parent (Hamon et al., 2011; 2013; Lavaud et al., 2015). The first high density SNP map of pea was developed from PI 180693 and used for fine mapping resistance and identifying candidate genes (Boutet et al., 2016; Kälin et al., 2023; 2024). Most recently, PI 180693-derived genetic stocks were used to develop Aphanomyces resistance lines (Leprévost et al., 2023). An important gene providing increased resistance to Fusarium root rot was identified by Coyne et al. (2015) and confirmed in a second population (Coyne et al., 2019). The identification of the genes responsible for Aphanomyces and Fusarium root rot tolerances and the creation of tolerant breeding lines paved the way for release of the first partially resistant cultivars by public and private pea breeding programs.

4. IMPACT
Public and private breeders relied on germplasm derived from the NPGS accession PI 180693 to improve partial resistances to Aphanomyces root rot and Fusarium root rot in pea cultivars. Of the 55,000 pea seed packets shipped from the NPGS genebank unit in Pullman, Washington in the last 10 years, PI 180683 was the second most requested accession.
5. GERMPLASM
PI 180693, a pea landrace from Germany named ‘Hohenheimer Pink-Flowered’, was donated to the NPGS in 1949 and is maintained by the USDA Plant Germplasm Introduction and Testing Research Unit in Pullman, Washington.
