title: Monosomic analysis of genes for resistance against stem rust races in bread wheat.
abstract: Using monosomic analysis genes governing resistance in one wheat variety, 'E5883', against stem rust races 15C and 122, were located on specific chromosomes. Against race 15C, a major dominant gene, Sr6, was located on chromosome 2D of 'E5883' with minor modifiers found on chromosomes 4A and 6D. Against race 122, the presence of a recessive hemizygous ineffective gene, Sr8, was identified, located on chromosome 6A of variety 'E5883'.
