Trangressive segregation for resistance in wheat to Septoria tritici blotch
African Crop Science Journal 8 (3), 213-222
Abstract: An experiment was carried out to study the inheritance of resistance in F₆ progenies obtained from 36 crosses involving 14 wheat cultivars. Transgressive segregation towards more resistance and/or more susceptibility to Septoria tritici blotch in wheat occurred in most of the crosses. With so many parents, most showing transgression, the conclusion is that a fair number of loci is involved. The combination of quantitative resistance and transgressive segregation is indicative of at least some genes operating in an additive way.
