Abstract excerpt
In a programme aimed at tagging rust-resistance genes in flax with the maize transposable element Ac, a primary transformant of a line called 'Forge' that is homozygous for four rust-resistance genes, L6, M, N and P2, was identified that possessed 10 copies of the Ac element, one of which was linked (29 map units) to L6. Descendants of this plant, which had from 8 to 15 copies of Ac, were crossed to a...
