Article Synopsis
- The Un8 gene in barley provides resistance against the Ustilago nuda pathogen, responsible for true loose smut, and is located on the long arm of chromosome 5.
- Recent genetic studies have narrowed the location of the Un8 gene to a small interval on chromosome 1HL, using a population of 4625 segregating lines.
- Analysis of the candidate gene from resistant versus susceptible barley lines revealed specific amino acid variations in the deduced protein that might contribute to the loss of function in susceptible lines.
