Description:
FLIP 2005-8C and FLIP 2005-9C, were developed from a backcross of ILWC 292/ILC 482 with ILC 482 made at ICARDA, Aleppo, Syria following a pedigree method of selection. The parent, ILWC 292, belongs to the annual wild species, C. reticulatum and is resistant to Cyst nematode while the other parent, ILC 482 is widely adaptable Kabuli type and is highly susceptible. Selection continued till F9 when two lines with resistance to Cyst nematode and uniform in agronomic behavior were selected and were accessed as FLIP 2005-8C and FLIP 2005-9C.
