Identification of Wheat Powdery Mildew Resistance Genes by Analysing Host‐Pathogen Interactions

AbstractFifty‐nine winter wheat cultivars and thirteen lines possessing known powdery mildew resistance genes were inoculated with eleven different isolates. By comparing their resistance patterns the responsible major resistance genes of the above‐mentioned cultivars have been determined. The so‐called “Blaukorn” resistance is conditioned by gent Pm4b. The resistance patterns of Ml‐i and Pm5 being similar, the relationship between them has to be analysed by segregating populations.
