Abstract
An analysis of the genetic basis of resistance to the pathogen in a set of differential lines showed that resistance was dominant and controlled by genes with major phenotypic effects. Single resistance genes were detected in 6 out of 7 host lines. In the seventh line, 2 independently inherited genes for resistance were present. Intercrossing showed that some of these genes were inherited independently. In other cases, no F2 segregation was observed, implying that the resistance factors involved were closely linked or allelic. In yet other cases, distorted F2 segregation ratios were detected. It is suggested that these were generally caused by the wide nature of the crosses between morphologically and biochemically dissimilar accessions. At least 4 distinct resistance loci were detected in these lines of G. canescens. They were given the tentative gene symbols Lr1, Lr2, Lr3 and Lr4.
