title: [Genetic control of the wheat Triticum monococcum L. resistance to powdery mildew].
abstract: Using hybrid analysis and test-clone method, 102 accessions of Triticum monococcum L. from the collection of the Vavilov All-Russia Institute of Plant Industry have been studied. This species of wheat has been found to by considerably polymorphic with respect to the resistance to the fungus Erysiphe graminis DC. f. sp. tritici Marchal. causing powdery mildew. The resistance of most accessions to the fungus population and clones is determined by dominant genes. In rare cases, the resistance was determined by recessive genes or one, two, or three oligogenes. A group of einkorn wheat accessions has been found in which the resistance to powdery mildew was determined by the same dominant factor or different but closely linked ones. Recessive resistance genes of T. monococcum differ from the recessive gene pm5 determining the resistance of T. aestivum plants. The genome of T. monococcum contains various genes of resistance to powdery mildew and is a potential source of effective genes to be used when selecting cultivated species of wheat for immunity.
