Gene-for-gene interactions between the rye mildew fungus and wheat cultivars
1994
Tosa, Y. (Kochi University, Kochi, Japan.)
Genetic mechanisms of the incompatibility between Erysiphe graminis f.sp. secalis and wheat cultivars were analyzed using F1 hybrids between E. graminis f.sp. secalis, Sk-1. and f.sp. tritici, Tk-1. The avirulence of Sk-1 on Triticum aestivum 'Norin 4', 'Chinese Spring', and 'Kokeshi-komugi' was controlled by a single gene. The resistance of the three cultivars to Sk-1 was also controlled by a single gene, Pm15, a gene for resistance to E. graminis f.sp. agropyri. Implications of these results were discussed in terms of host-parasite coevolution
