Traditional methods for studying effectors in lentil and chickpea face challenges, such as the ability to perform gene overexpression or knockout studies, due to the difficulty of effector protein infiltration and the limitations of using non-host plants for expression studies. Here, we introduce an alternative tool to enhance the genetic modification toolkit for <em>A. lentis</em> and <em>A. rabiei</em> by developing boscalid-resistant mutants using targeted mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SdhB). This allows for the generation of multiple gene knockouts and gene complementation in <em>A. lentis</em>, where previously only one selectable marker was available. By using the SdhB H277L mutation, we transformed both pathogens and successfully selected transformants using the fungicide boscalid as the selective agent.

Additionally, we generated double knockouts in both pathogens, highlighting the potential for more sophisticated genetic studies.
