Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm lines, ILL 422, ILL 813, ILL 1220, ILL 1462, lLL 2313, and ILL 2684 (Reg. no. GP‐7 to GP‐12, PI 612876 to PI 612881), were released by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), located at Aleppo, Syria, for potential use by lentil researchers. These germplasm lines have been conserved at ICARDA under the auspices of FAO, hence they are termed as FAO‐designated germplasm. The Genetic Resources Unit of ICARDA maintains the lines with the identification code L, L‐422 (ILL‐422), L‐813 (ILL‐813), L‐1220 (ILL‐1220), L‐1462 (ILL‐1462), L‐2313 (ILL‐2313) and L‐2684 (ILL‐2684). These lines have resistance to lentil vascular wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend.: em. W.C. Snyder & H.N. Hans. F. sp. lentis Vasud. and Srin.
