Abstract

Genetic resistance to race alpha of C. lindemuthianum in the nine varieties of beans studied can be accounted for by dominant alleles at either of two loci, which are unlinked and which behave as duplicate factor loci in the classical sense. A similar system of loci governs reaction to races beta and gamma, with evidence favoring multiple allelism and dominance of alleles conferring susceptibility in certain instances in the case of beta. In addition, for reaction to races beta and gamma, there are distinct systems of complementary factors, again with multiple allelism at the beta loci. Finally, there is genetic linkage between genes of the duplicate factor set governing reaction to gamma and genes of the duplicate factor set, and complementary factor set conditioning reaction to beta. The genes that are members of the set(s) pertaining to any one race alone are independent of each other in a linkage sense.
