Abstract

The mode of inheritance of resistance to races 10, 20 and 106 was studied in the cross Frontiera X N.P. 770. Resistance of Frontiera to race 10 is controlled by two recessive factor pairs and to races 20 and 106, by a pair of recessive genes. One of the genes governing resistance to race 10 was effective against race 20 also.
