Summary
Two partially dominant genes governing resistance to blackarm (Xanthomonas malvacearum) have been transferred fromGossypium herbaceum (n=13,A 1 genome) to Sakel,G. barbadense (n=26, (AD)2 genome). The stronger of these genes has been given the symbolB 9; no symbol has been allocated to the weaker gene because gene homology tests have not been made between this and the other known genes.
