Hybridization of Melampsora lini to Identify Rust Resistance in Flax¹

Cultures with selective pathogenicity were developed through hybridization or selfing to identify genes for resistance in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) to flax rust [Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Lev). Selected races of M. lint were crossed and selfed to produce virulent patterns to identify combinations of resistance alleles L¹¹, M³, M⁶, and P³ relatively simple.

Key Words: Flax rust • Selective mutation pathogenicity • Hybridization • Gene identification • Linum usitatissimum L.
