Inheritance and genetic mapping of leaf rust resistance genes in the
... leaf rust resistance genes were mapped to their respective chromosome arms and linked molecular markers were found. In addition we could saturate chromosome 2B (Fig. 2) with molecular markers that should be valuable for linkage with Lr16, Lr13 (although not confirmed in this study) and the BMP1. The ...
