The genetic fine structure of the rym5 locus was studied in a progeny consi
sting of 391 doubled haploid lines which were evaluated for resistance to t
wo strains of Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV-1, 2) and to Barley mild mo
saic virus (BaMMV). The lack of recombinants concerning the reaction to the
different bymoviruses provided evidence that rym5 is a complex locus, whic
h is either composed of a series of closely linked genes or comprises a sin
gle gene being a member of an allelic series. While the presence of the rym
5 gene(s) leads to complete immunity, a novel gene, termed rmm7 conferring
partial resistance to BaMMV was mapped in the proximal region of chromosome
1H.
