Four barley varieties, each immune to a Valki-attacking culture of loose smut (designated as race 2), were studied with respect to the inheritance of their resistance. Jet (C.I. 967) and Nigrinudum (C.I. 2222) were each found to possess two independent dominant genes determining resistance. Steudelli (C.I. 2266) proved to be immune to race 2 through the action of a single dominant gene, while resistance of Hillsa (C.I. 1604) was found to be conditioned by two complementary dominant genes. The absence of susceptible F3 families in crosses between Jet, Nigrinudum, and Steudelli indicated that these three varieties have in common a gene or genes for resistance to the race of smut used. The two complementary genes for resistance in Hillsa proved to be distinct from those of the other three varieties under study.The use of genetic analyses of disease resistance based upon classification of F3 families of the backcross to the resistant source is described and the merits of such a method are discussed.

F3 lines of the barley crosses Odessa × Pannier and Odessa × Excelsior were subjected to tests with compatible monosporidial lines of an inbred race each of covered and false loose smut. The results indicated that both Pannier and Excelsior have one dominant gene for resistance to each of the two races and that the genes in each variety appear to be closely associated.

The immune reaction of the barley varieties Bifarb (C.I. 3951-3), Kitchin (C.I. 1296-1), Nigrinudum (C.I. 2222), Jet (C.I. 967), and C.I. 5798 to a Trebi-attacking culture of Ustilago nuda (Jens.) Rostr. was studied in the F2 and F3 generations of crosses between these varieties and the U. nuda susceptible variety Newal (C.I. 6088). Resistance was found to be conditioned by single dominant genes. Studies of the F3 and F4 generations of crosses among the immune varieties indicated that the genes for immunity were each located at the same locus. A study of the F3 generation of a cross between Jet and the third outer-glume mutant from Valkie (C.I. 5748), designated herein as Valkie-trd, indicated that these genes for immunity differed from that in Valkie. Because of the similarity of the genetics of reaction to U. nuda in the five varieties, it was concluded that they probably originated from a common Abyssinian ancestor.

F3 lines from three smut resistant oat varieties crossed with the susceptible variety Anthony were inoculated with compatible monosporidial lines of two inbred races of Ustilago avenae and one inbred race of U. kolleri. Rodney, Black Mesdag, and Camas each have one gene conferring resistance to two races of U. avenae and to one race of U. kolleri. Black Mesdag and Camas have a second gene, conferring resistance to the U. kolleri race. F3 lines from the Black Mesdag × Anthony cross were inoculated with teliospores of a U. avenae race virulent on all varieties except Black Mesdag. One gene in Black Mesdag conferred resistance to this and the other races used. F3 lines from a cross between Camas and Black Mesdag segregated, indicating that these varieties have genes for smut resistance at different loci.

The inheritance of resistance to loose smut races Tr and Ts (a new race) was studied in several barley crosses and backcrosses in which the varieties Jet and Titan were the resistant parents. Jet is resistant to race Tr and race Ts, Titan to race Tr only. Genetical analyses were based (a) on a classification of F2 plants according to the smut reaction of their F3 progeny, and (b) on the reaction of selfed generation backcrosses involving recessive (susceptible) parents. The resistance of Titan and of Jet to Tr was found in each case to be due to a single, dominant gene, designated as Un and Un3, respectively. The resistance of Jet to Ts was also found to be due to a single, dominant gene. This is probably a "new" gene and has been provisionally designated Un6. Resistance was found to be determined by the genetic constitution of the developing embryo rather than by that of surrounding floral structures.
