Abstract

The objective of the present research was to assess and understand the heritability of the resistant barley genetic source cv. Banteng to spot blotch SB disease caused by Cochliobolus sativus. A cross was made between this resistant cultivar and the universally susceptible cv. WI 2291. Analysis of variance for the studied trait indicated highly significant differences among cultivars. High broad sense heritability was found (H ?? 88 %). However, in all cases, the results obtained for the F2 plants demonstrated that the observed segregation pattern fitted 1:15 ratios.
