Abstract:
The genetic basis of resistance in wild flax (Linum marginale) to its host-specific pathogen Melampsora lini was investigated in seven lines collected from a single population growing at Kiandra, New South Wales and in an additional ten lines collected more widely across southeastern Australia. All lines showed different phenotypic patterns of resistance and susceptibility. Genetic analyses indicated the presence of single dominant genes for race-specific resistance in all but one of these lines. That particular line appeared to carry two linked dominant genes for resistance. Intercrosses between lines in each of these groups of L. marginale detected substantially more linkage between the resistance genes in the Kiandra population sample than between those in the broader geographic collection. This result is interpreted to indicate a possible mechanism whereby resistance genes are generated in natural populations.
