Summary
Inheritance studies involving Coorong and Satu triticales showed that each possessed a single dominant gene for resistance. The genes were allelic or closely linked. The relative frequencies of Sr27 (Coorong gene) and Sr Satuin a sequence of International Triticale Screening Nurseries were similar. However, a significant increase in the frequency of entries with SrSatu occurred in the 17 International Triticale Screening Nursery (ITSN).
