“…Rust resistance in sunflower is controlled by single dominant genes. To date, a total of 17 rust resistance genes, R 1 – R 5 , R 10 – R 12 , R 13a , R 13b , R 14 – R 18 , P u6 and R adv, have been reported in sunflower, and 15 of them were mapped to various regions across the sunflower genome: chromosome 2 ( R 5 ); chromosome 8 ( R 1 and R 15 ); chromosome 11 ( R 12 and R 14 ); chromosome 13 ( R 4 , R 11 , R 13a , R 13b , R 16 – R 18 , P u6 , and R adv ); and chromosome 14 ( R 2 ) ( Supplementary Table S2 ) [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ].…”
