THE INHERITANCE OF RESISTANCE TO ASCOCHYTA PISI LIB. IN PEAS

Abstract
As part of a program for breeding horticultural varieties of peas resistant to Ascochyta pisi Lib., a study was made of the inheritance of resistance to a monospore isolate of the pathogen using a cross between the resistant pea strain, Ottawa A-100, and the susceptible variety, Thomas Laxton. The results indicate that resistance to the isolate used is due to duplicate dominant genes, either one of which will give resistance.
