“…There are numerous reports on the inheritance of rust resistance, and it is generally accepted that resistance to rust is controlled by one or more major, dominant genes Ballantyne 1978;De Carvalho et al 1978;Meiners 1981;Kolmer and Groth 1982;Kardin and Groth 1985;Stavely 1986;Webster and Ainsworth 1988;Stavely and Pastor-Corrales 1989;Bokosi et al 1994a;Sayler et al 1995;Steadman 1995;Gonzalez-Gracia and Grafton 1996;Stavely and Kelly 1996;Alzate-Marin et al 2004a;Mutunga et al 2002;Pastor-Corrales 2005). However, recessive genes have been reported (Finke et al 1986;Zaiter et al 1989;Sayler et al 1995), including a (mutant of Crg) (Complements resistance gene).…”

“…Resistance is generally believed to be multigenic (Timmerman-Vaughan et al, 2002) and quantitatively inherited (Roger et al, 1999;Hwang et al, 2006), but there are a few reports of resistance controlled by major genes (e.g., Clulow et al, 1991). Evidence of a strong environmental influence on blight severity provides support for the complex inheritance of resistance (Meiners, 1981). Breeding efforts have been hampered by deficiencies in our understanding of the inheritance of resistance (Kraft et al, 1998).…”

Mycosphaerella blight, caused mainly by Mycosphaerella pinodes (Berk. and Blox.) Vestergren, is the most important foliar disease on field pea (Pisum sativum L.) in western Canada. A quantitative trait analysis of resistance to M. pinodes was undertaken on five crosses with reciprocals of P. sativum to examine broad‐sense (H2) and narrow‐sense (h2) heritability, minimum number of genes involved (MNG), midparent heterosis (MPH), cytoplasmic inheritance, and epistasis. Mean H2 was 0.75 (range 0.67–0.80) and mean h2 was 0.59 (range 0.41–0.70), indicating that additive variance is important and that improvement in resistance can be achieved through breeding. Mean MNG was 2.16 genes (range 0.06–6.22), indicating that genes for resistance differed among parent lines. Mean MPH was 50% (range 47–57%), indicating that heterosis did not influence the expression of resistance to M. pinodes There was no difference between the mean of any F1 population and its reciprocal, indicating lack of maternal inheritance. The mean of the epistatic points was −0.01 (range −0.1 to 0.12), indicating that epistasis was not important in these crosses. These results will further the understanding of the natural genetic diversity for disease resistance to M. pinodes in P. sativum
