D. Rubiales et al., Chromosome location of resistance to septoria leaf blotch and common bunt in wheat-barley addition lines, EUPHYTICA, 122(2), 2001, pp. 369-372
Septoria leaf blotch and common bunt are important diseases of wheat to whi
ch Hordeum vulgare is resistant. Addition lines of H. vulgare in wheat were
utilized to determine which H. vulgare chromosomes carry resistance genes.
Resistance to septoria leaf blotch was conferred by gene(s) present all ov
er the barley genome, but more strongly by those located on chromosomes 7 a
nd 4. Almost complete resistance to common bunt was conferred by gene(s) pr
esent in chromosomes 6 and a slight but significant level of resistance was
conferred by chromosome 7.
