| Abstract: | The BaYMV resistance of German cultivars like Diana, Franka, Gloria or Sonate is due to one recessive gene (‘German gene’), located on barley chromosome 3. This gene and the gene Ym1 are most probably allelic (or tightly linked). Resistance of the American cv. Anson barley is inherited independently of the ‘German gene’ and Ym1. The haploidy technique is an efficient means for approaching major breeding goals: (1) to improve quality characteristics of cultivars carrying‘German resistance' (2) to adapt exotic germplasm carrying the gene Yml to European growing conditions; (3) to broaden the genetic base of BaYMV resistance by incorporating additional ‘new’ resistance genes. |
