Abstract

Australian isolates of the blackleg fungusLeptosphaeria maculans, that form cankers on two Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) varieties (Stoke and Zaria) are described. This ability to form cankers on var. Stoke segregates as a single locus in both F1 and backcross progeny from a cross between twoL. maculans isolates.
