Summary
The genetics of resistance to races 1 and 2 of downy mildew Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinaciae in the spinach variety ‘Nores’ was investigated in crosses and backcrosses with the susceptible variety ‘Eerste Oogst’. Resistance appears to be governed by two closely linked genes in coupling phase with a recombination percentage of 4.6.
