Notes:
Summary A disomic addition line in which a pair of chromosomes of the tetraploid wild oat Avena barbata have been added to the cultivar Manod is resistant to all the prevalent races of mildew. The gene for mildew resistance is located on the particular A. barbata chromosome involved in the addition line. Seeds of the disomic addition line were irradiated in an attempt to introduce this source of resistance into the cultivated oat by an induced translocation involving the A. barbata chromosome. A description is given of the method used to isolate a desirable translocation in which the gene for mildew resistance has been introduced into the cultivated oat.
