Abstract
A major gene underlying quantitative resistance of barley against Pyrenophora graminea, a seedborne pathogen causing leaf stripe, was mapped with molecular markers in a barley doubled haploid (DH) population derived from the cross ‘Proctor’ x ‘Nudinka’. This quantitative trait locus (QTL) accounts for r 2= 58.5% and was mapped on barley chromosome 1, tightly linked to the “naked” gene. A second resistance QTL accounting for 29.3% of the variation in the trait was identified on the P arm of barley chromosome 2. Another two minor QTLs were detected by further analysis. None of the QTLs was found in the barley chromosome 2 “Vada” region studied by Giese et al. (1993).
