Abstract A cross was made between rice cultivars Katy and Lemont. F3 families were produced from individual F2 plants. Approximately 25 plants of each F3 family were inoculated with each of 8 different strains of Magnaporthe grisea. Each strain of the pathogen was known to have different genes for avirulence on Katy or Lemont. Each F3 family was recorded as having all plants resistant, segregating for resistance, or all plants being susceptible. The results suggest that the ‘single’ gene for resistance in Katy is a tightly linked cluster of at least seven genes.
