Abstract
Inheritance of resistance to rust was investigated in the self progeny of the sugarcane cultivar 'R570' also used to build a RFLP genetic ma p. Resistance was evaluated through both field and controlled greenhou se trials. A clear-cut 3 (resistant): 1 (susceptible) segregation indi cative of a probable dominant resistant gene was observed. This is the first documented report of a monogenic inheritance for disease resist ance in sugarcane. This gene was found linked at 10 cM with an RFLP ma rker revealed by probe CDSR29. Other minor factors involved in the res istance were also detected.
