Title:Inheritance of resistance to peanut mottle virus in soybeans

Abstract:Four soybean crosses between resistant and susceptible cvs. were used to study the inheritance of resistance to groundnut mottle virus. From glasshouse inoculation tests on the F1, F2 and F3 resistance was shown to be conditioned by an allele at a single locus, designated as Rpv, which exhibited complete dominance. These results indicated that cvs. resistant to GMV may be obtained either by screening the early segregating generations of crosses between resistant and susceptible parents, or by transferring the gene for resistance through a backcrossing programme into existing susceptible cvs.ADDITIONAL ABSTRACT:Inoculation tests performed on the F1, F2 and F3 of four crosses between resistant and susceptible varieties of Glycine max demonstrated that resistance is controlled by a completely dominant allele, designated Rpv, at a single locus. Hence resistant varieties can be obtained either by screening the early segregating generations of crosses between resistant and susceptible parents or by transferring the gene for resistance into suitable varieties by means of a back-crossing programme.
