Resistance of Black Hull-less barley (Hordeum vulgare) to Puccinia graminis f. sp. secalis was studied in crosses with susceptible cultivars Larker, Beacon, and Glenn. Segregation ratios of F₂ plants and F₃ families were consistent with the segregation of a single gene with the recessive allele conferring resistance.
