“…The order on chromosomes 2B and 6B is also 1D 106, 642, 793, 820, 848, 1012, 1049, 1202, 1223, 1230, 1291 2D 102, 157, 249, 261, 301, 320, 349, 382, 455, 484, 539, 721, 815, 988, 1099, 1186, 1235, 1264, 1274 2B 47, 55, 120, 129, 148, 257, 319, 374, 388, 410, 429, 501, 526, 619, 630, 739, 846, 877, 912, 940, 972, 1027, 1067, 1070, 1128, 1177, 1249, 1273, 1300 6B 88, 132, 133, 219, 361, 518, 626, 680, 771, 785, 816, 825, 889, 1076, 1199, 1233, 1255 similar to that in the genetic maps of common wheat, but inter-marker distances are significantly reduced. A repressed level of recombination is typical for wide crosses not only in wheat, but also in other cereals (Faris et al 1998;Jä rve et al 2000;Lu et al 2002), and results in the formation of tight linkage groups separated by gaps of at least 40 cM. SIM analysis of the 'BC5' mapping population indicated that chromosomes 2B and 2D are important for the determination of adult plant resistance to leaf rust (Fig.…”
