In seven species of Linum, genes for resistance to Indian races of Melampsora lini were determined. L. gallicum carried one gene in L. locus; L. flocossum carried one gene in any locus other than L or P; L. strictum and L. angustifolium carried one gene in each, which were located in a new locus designated in these studies as D; L. creptans carried two genes in L and D loci; L. tennue carried two genes in L and N/P; and L. perenne carried two genes in L and D loci.
