Popis: A method used to analyse Flor's M group of genes controlling specific resistance of flax to its rust is described. Using this method, three of seven genes reported so far have been brought together in pairs in coupling. The specific effects of each pair of genes in coupling is a simple sum of each individual gene and identical to the corresponding pair in repulsion, suggesting they are not functionally allelic. Segregational data show that four of these M genes represent closely linked sites separable by recombination and a possible linear order is suggested. Further analysis awaits the availability of appropriate strains of rust to discriminate M2, M5 and M6 individually and to further distinguish between M1 and M4.
