Abstract
We have identified three AFLP markers tightly linked to the locus conferring resistance to the leaf rust Melampsora larici-populina in Populus by Bulked Segregant Analysis. The study was carried out using a hybrid progeny derived from an inter-specific, controlled cross between a resistant Populus deltoides female and a susceptible P. nigra male. The segregation ratio of resistant to susceptible plants suggested that a single, dominant locus (Mer) defined the resistance to Melampsora.
