The introduction of resistance to eyespot (Cercosporella herpotrichoides) from Aegilops ventricosa to Triticum aestivum is described.
In the hybrids, amphiploids and in the amphiploid derivatives investigated, the eyespot resistance was apparently simply inherited. Furthermore, this character was controlled by a chromosome, or chromosomes of the D genome of Ae. ventricosa and thus could be introduced into T. aestivum by recombination.
