| Title: | The Development of New Races of Flax Rust to Identify Multiple Gene Combinations in Flax |
| Author: | Miller, J. F.; Hammond, J. J.; Statler, G.D. |
| Description: | New races of flax rust (incited by Melampsora lint) in 1973 left only three resistant flax cultivars: Linott, Foster, and Raja (6). Of these, only Linott was commercially acceptable to North Dakota flax producers. This article reports manipulation of virulence of M. lin; through hybridization and selfing to produce cultures necessary to identify combinations of effective host genes in flax. |
