    Many of the accessions in the Pisum Core Collection are mixtures of diverse germplasm. Because we were interested in characterizing seed andpod wall parameters in unique lines, we randomly selected seeds of asingle seed phenotype within each accession for planting. For the mostpart, this resulted in plants with uniform characteristics, within eachplanted accession. At harvest, if more than one plant phenotype was evident, we selected seeds from only one plant phenotype (usually thephenotype with the most plants, or the highest seed yield). We alsoensured that its seeds were of the same phenotype as the original seedsplanted. Phenotypic data were collected on harvested seeds and pods ofeach accession, and these characteristics are noted in the dataset.

    The collection was evaluated was evaluated at the Oak Park Research Center, Carlow, Ireland, where infection by Mycosphaerella pinodes occurs naturally and where confounding diseases such as root rot, wilt, and virus diseases are not chronic. Each pea line was planted in a 1.4 by 1.2 m plot using an Oyjord seed drill. The space between plots was 0.4 m. The control consisted of the susceptible commercial cultivar Solara planted three times throughout the plot area. The trial was planted on 24 April 1991 and selected plots were harvested on 3 September. In 1992 the trial was sown on 4 May and harvested on 18 SeptemberTo ensure uniform infection, plots were inoculated each year with an isolate of M. pinodes obtained from seed supplied by Dr. Anthony Biddle. Isolation was according to the method of Hewett (Plant Pathol. 15:161-163)

    The pea weevil, Bruchus pisorum (L.), is one of the most intractable pest problems of cultivated pea, Pisum sativum L. The availability of resistant cultivars would give growers more pest management options. Searches for plant resistance to pea weevil were expanded to the Pisum secondary gene pool (P. fulvum Sibth. & Sm.) because seed resistance had not been located in P. sativum and subspecies. The objectives of this study were to determine the extent of pod and seed resistance to pea weevil in P. fulvum, and to use the life table format to characterize weevil stage-specific mortality and survivorship on different P. fulvum accessions and a weevil-susceptible pea cultivar (Alaska 81). Specifically, mortality of first instar larvae on pods, mortality of all weevil stages within seed, adult emergence from seed, and seed damage levels were quantified. In two greenhouse trials, more larvae died (14 to 50% averages) on pods of P. fulvum accessions than on pods of `Alaska 81' (6% average), and mortality of first instar larvae entering seed of P. fulvum accessions averaged 83.7%. Seed damage ratings (1 = feeding scar on seed testa, 0-1% cotyledon tissue eaten, dead first instar larva; 5 = extensive damage, live adult) averaged <3.0 for 26 P. fulvum accessions, compared to mean ratings of 4.9 for Alaska 81. Using weevil mortality and survivorship values in life tables and adult emergence rates, entries were classified as susceptible (two controls and five accessions), moderately resistant (14 accessions), and resistant (12 accessions). Antibiosis resistance was based on the death of weevil larvae on pods and seed testa and cotyledon tissues. The results identify sources of natural weevil resistance in the Pisum genome (26 moderately resistant and resistant accessions of P. fulvum) to endow pea cultivars with pod and/or seed resistance to B. pisorum.

    Two tables with the mean data.

    National Plant Germplasm System Pisum accessions were screened by mechanical inoculation with CIYVV-Pst1/CP(15) and symptom development was observed for about 2 weeks. Lines that showed no symptoms were selected, and further inoculation tests were conducted. These lines were then screened for systemic infection by mechanical inoculation using indirect ELISA and green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged ClYVV detection.

    Fusarium root rot (Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi) differential

    Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi) differential. The symptoms and the cultural morphology of the pathogen can be distinguished by the reaction on 7 differential cultivars.

    Pea Enation Mosaic Virus differential (PEMV)

    The Pea enation mosaic virus. At least 8 species of aphid can transmit the virus but the principal vector is the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. After the aphid acquires the virus, it is 8 or more hours before it can transmit it to a pea plant, but the aphid retains the ability to transmit the virus for at least 24 hours, during which time it can fly or be blown long distances.

    Plant hosts include chickpea, lentil, faba bean, broadbean, sweet pea, certain species of lupine; Hungarian, common, and hairy vetch; and several species of clover including Alsike, white, crimson, and subterranean. Weedy subterranean clover is the principal overwintering host in western Oregon. Alfalfa is not a host. This virus can be detected in seed but is not transmitted by seed.

    Symptoms Mottling, crinkling, and stunting followed by tissue outgrowths on leaves and pods. Pods may be badly distorted.

    Common root rot (Aphanomyces euteiches f. sp. pisi) differential

    During the growing season of 1969, 1,324 Plant Introduction entries of peas were evaluated in the field for resistance to Race 5. Each entry was planted in two replications of twenty seeds each. Darkskin Perfection and New Era variety peas were used as the standard check varieties to determine the uniformity of disease within the nursery. Each of the check varieties were planted in 120 locations within each replication in the nursery. Each of the check varieties were arranged systematically within the nursery to guarantee uniform placement of these varieties.

    The entries were rated as susceptible, tolerant, segregating for resistance, or resistant. The susceptible rating indicates that all plants within the entry were killed prior to bloom. Moderately susceptible (Tolerant)-varieties survived to the bloom stage and in, most instances did not produce seed. Segregating for resistance-varieties in which some seedlings survived and produced seed with no visible symptoms. Resistance ? all seedlings survived and produced seed.

    Many of the accessions in the Pisum Core Collection are mixtures of diverse germplasm. Because we were interested in characterizing mineral concentrations in unique lines, we randomly selected seeds of a single seed phenotype within each accession for planting. For the most part, this resulted in plants with uniform characteristics, within each planted accession. At harvest, if more than one plant phenotype was evident, we selected seeds from only one plant phenotype (usually the phenotype with the most plants, or the highest seed yield). We also ensured that its seeds were of the same phenotype as the original seeds planted. Phenotypic data were collected on harvested seeds of each accession, and these characteristics are noted in the dataset (Seed Coat Color, Seed Coat Coloration Pattern, Smooth vs.Wrinkled Seeds, Cotyledon Color).

    Pea germplasm collections (Pea PSP) were planted following augmented design with standard checks (“Hampton,” “Arargorn,” “Columbian,” and “1,022”) at the USDA Central Ferry Farm in 2016, 2017, and 2018 (planting dates were March 14, March 28, and April 03, respectively). The central Ferry farm is located at Central Ferry, WA at 46°39′5.1″N; 117°45′45.4″ W, and elevation of 198 m. The Central Ferry farm has a Chard silt loam soil (coarse-loamy, mixed, superactive, mesic Calcic Haploxerolls) and was irrigated with subsurface drip irrigation at 10 min d−1. All seeds were treated with fungicides; mefenoxam (13.3 ml a.i. 45 kg-1), fludioxonil (2.4 ml a.i. 45 kg -1), and thiabendazole (82.9 ml a.i.45 kg -1), insecticide; thiamethoxam (14.3 ml a.i. 45 kg -1), and sodium molybdate (16 g 45 kg -1) prior to planting. Thirty seeds were planted per plot; each plot was 152 cm long, having double rows with 30 cm center spacing. The dimensions of each plot were 152 × 60 cm. Standard fertilization and cultural practices were used. The following traits were recorded and are presented in this manuscript. Days to first flowering are the number of days from planting to when 10% of the plot’s plants start flowering. The number of seeds per pod is the number of seeds in each pod. Plant height (cm) is defined as when all plants in a plot obtained full maturity and were measured in centimeters from the collar region at soil level to the plants’ top. Pods per plant is the number of recorded pods per plant. Days to maturity referred to physiological maturity when plots were hand-harvested, mechanically threshed, cleaned with a blower, and weighed. Plot weight (gm) is the weight of each plot in grams after each harvest. Seed yield (kg ha−1) is the plot weight converted to seed yield in kg per hectare.

    The molecular diversity of 14 isolates of Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) from southern Australia, 13 previously described isolates from Pakistan, and a reference isolate from the United States have been studied to determine whether a relatively simple molecular diagnostic assay and classification scheme could be developed for this virus. The Australian isolates were placed into either pathotype P1 or pathotype P4 by bioassay on differential genotypes of Pisum sativum. The Pakistani isolates represented pathotypes P1, P4, U1, and U2, and an undetermined pathotype. The reference US isolate was pathotype P1. A reverse transcription?polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay based on an amplicon from the variable HC-Pro coding region of potyviruses was shown to distinguish PSbMV from seven other legume infecting potyviruses. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) generated from the HC-Pro RT-PCR products of all 28 isolates using seven restriction endonucleases placed them into eight groups. A phylogenetic tree based on a Bray-Curtis similarity comparison placed the groups into three clusters. The groups and clusters had no clear association with either pathotype or geographic source. It is concluded that within the range of viruses and isolates tested, the RT-PCR-RFLP method will both specifically identify PSbMV and provide a simple, qualitative, and rapid means for placing PSbMV isolates into groups. Applications could include mapping and tracking isolates in space and time.

    Accessions were planted in 1971 at Saskatoon, Canada. Each plot contained 2 rows 30 m long and 30 cm apart with 85 seed/row. The accessions were randomly assigned to 17 8X8 partially-balanced lattices with 2 replications. Harvested seed was dried to 6.5%, passed through 0.5 mm sieve and protein concentration determined by infra-red reflectance spectroscopy (Neotec Instruments Inc.).

    Selected seeds of a single seed phenotype within each accession used previously in the mineral nutrient study of the pea core collection (Grusak, 2003, GRIN) were used for this analysis. Protein concentration (N H 6.5) of the ground seed was determined using a Leco nitrogen analyzer (Leco Corp., St Joseph, MI, USA).

    Root growth is an important component of plant growth but has received little attention by plant breeders because of difficulties associated with root observation. Improved root architecture and production are likely to improve pea (Pisum sativum L.) production because they are often grown on marginal land and suffer from increased disease pressure and poor fertility. The objective of this study was to quantify the phenotypic variation in seedling root production among Pisum germplasm and to classify the root architecture observed. Seed of 330 accessions from the core collection of Pisum germplasm were germinated and grown under artificial conditions for 14 d and their root characters analyzed. Root systems were scanned and digitized by the WinRHIZO program. Data collected included taproot length, shoot length, and root and shoot dry weight. Data generated by WinRHIZO included total root length, surface area, average root diame ter, and root volume. Taproot length ranged from 181 to 433 mm, while root and shoot dry weight ranged from 6 to 57 mg and 13 to 104 mg, respectively. Total root length ranged from 54 to 399 cm, root surface area ranged from 9 to 75 cm2, and root volume ranged from 0.11 to 1.12 cm3. Seed weight was significantly correlated with all root characters with the exception of taproot length. Shoot and root dry weight were positively correlated with total root length, average root diameter, and root volume. PI 261631, an accession from Spain, produced the greatest total root length, had a root:shoot weight ratio of 0.79, and the largest root volume (1.12 cm3). Plant breeders will be able to use the wide variation for root characters in their crossing and selection programs to modify root traits during cultivar development.

    From 1990-1994 the USDA Plant Introduction Pea collection were evaluated under controlled conditions for resistance to an aggressive strain of Aphanomyces euteiches. This strain (Ae 467) was isolated from pea in Wisconsin, and from of its pathogenicity characteristic have been reported(Plant Disease 75:1153-1156). Fort-four seeds of each accession were surface disinfested, and 22 seeds were sown individually in cavities of two separate plastic multi-cavity trays containing vermiculite. One tray served as a control and only water was applied to it. Seven days after sowing each seedling in the other replicate tray was inoculated by injecting 4 ml of a zoospore suspension containing 100 zoospores/ml around its roots. Disease severity index and percent loss of root and vine biomass due to disease were determined for each set of 20 plants 12 days after inoculation.

    Pisum spp. was screened for rust resistance under field conditions at Cordoba, Spain, during the season 2002-2003. Each accession was represented by a 1.5 m long single row that was 0.7 mapart, with 25 plants per row. The first 50 cm of each test row were sown with the susceptible pea cv. Messire to serve both as a control and spreader of the disease. The plot was inoculated twice from mid-March, at 2-week intervals, to ensure high and uniform levels of rust infection. Inoculation consisted of spraying an aqueous suspension of urediospores from a single pustule isolate Up-Co01 of U. pisi collected at Co' rdoba. The urediospores were suspended in tap water (6 x 10 fourth spores mL -1), to which Tween-20 (0.03%, v/v) was added as a wetting agent.

    When rust development started uring 2004-2005 season, disease severity was assessed at 2-week intervals by a visual estimation of the leaf area covered with rust pustules (%). These data were used to calculate the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC), using the following formula in the Field Crops Research 114(2009) 198-203 article.

    The susceptible control cultivar Messire had a AUDPC of 1062.5 and 45% leaf area covered with pustules.

    The National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) identifies there accssions with an accession prefix (ACP) and a accession number (ACNO) and a accessions suffix (ACS). When single plant accessions were developed for Pisum a accession suffix was added of 'PSP' to the new accession.. The accession prefix and accession number are the same as the accession the single plant came from.

    Singe plant derived accessions were developed for an association mapping population. They are currently unavailable.

    25 ng genomic DNA was used as template for SNP genotyping carried out using a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer (Sequenom). SNP assays were designed from previously published SNPs (Deulvot et al. 2010, BMC Genomics 11:486) using software iPLEX GOLD Assay (Sequenom). The data was analyzed with MassArray analyzer software (Sequenom) which called the biallelic markers. Each SNP was scored for each sample A, T, G or C.

    Abstract:
    Globally, pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important temperate legume crop for food, feed, and fodder, and many breeding programs exist to develop cultivars adapted to these end uses. In order to manage and utilize genetic resources for pea improvement, the USDA Pea Single Plant Plus Collection (PSPPC), which contains 431 Pisum accessions with morphological, geographic, and taxonomic diversity, was assembled. To maximize the value of this collection for trait mapping and genomics-assisted breeding projects, detailed genetic characterization was performed. To that end, genotyping-by-sequencing―a cost-effective method for de novo SNP marker discovery―was used to generate 66 591 high-quality SNPs. These data allowed us to identify accessions divergent from mainstream breeding germplasm that could serve as sources of novel, favorable alleles. In particular, a group of accessions from Central Asia appeared nearly as diverse as a sister species, P. fulvum, and subspecies, P. sativum subsp. elatius. Accession genotypes can be paired with new and existing phenotype data for trait mapping; as proof-of-concept, Mendel’s A gene controlling flower color was localized to its known position. SNP data were also used to define a smaller core collection of 108 accessions with similar levels of genetic diversity as the entire PSPPC, resulting in a smaller germplasm set for research screening and evaluation under limited resources. Taken together, the results presented in this study along with the release of a publicly available SNP data set comprise a valuable resource for supporting worldwide pea genetic improvement efforts.

    The USDA Western Regional Plant Introduction Station in Pullman, WA maintains >6800 pea accessions including three species, genetic stocks and several core collections. The biodiversity held in this germplasm fuels advances in the plant sciences, particularly breeding and genetics in the pursuit of crop improvement. Efficient germplasm management is crucial and molecular characterization using 15 SSRs of the USDA pea core collection of 310 accessions assists utilization. Understanding the genetic diversity (population structure) of the highly phenotyped USDA pea core collection led to significant marker-trait associations. The results of this study were published in Genes & Genomics 34(3): 305-320.

    Five isolates of PSbMV: Standard (ST), Pea 1 (P1), Lentil L (L), Lentil 1 (L1), and Pea 4 (P4) were tested on these National Plant Germplasm (NPGS) accessions around 1988. The seed soruce came from the NPGS station in Geneva, New York.

    In 1990 the Pisum collection was transferred to Pullman, Washignton. Extensive work was done to clean the Pisum seed collection from PSbMV, thus the seed from these NPGS accessions may not give the same results and the 1988 results listed here.
