Abstract
Canadian cultivars of Brassica napus are resistant to white rust caused by Albugo candida while many cultivars of this species grown in China are susceptible. Two Chinese lines susceptible to race 7, GCL, and 2282-9, and one Canadian resistant cultivar, 'Regent,' were chosen for a genetic study of resistance to this pathogen. Inheritance of white rust resistance is conditioned by independent dominant genes at three loci; these were designated Ac7-1, Ac7-2, and Ac7-3. The resistance is conferred by dominance at any one of the three loci and plants with recessive alleles at all loci are susceptible. Since different F2 and BC ratios were obtained for populations derived from different individual plants of 'Regent,' this 'Regent' population is not homogeneous for resistance to white rust. All 'Regent' plants appear to be homogeneous for resistance at two loci while, in addition, some may also carry resistance at a third locus.
