Data from the F2 and F3 of crosses between the susceptible cultivar Elgin and (1) 6 resistant introductions and (2) selection M72-365 of PI178383 X Elgin indicated that resistance to T. caries and T. foetida in CI9342 and M72-365 is controlled by a single gene, identified as Bt8. Bt8 and an unidentified minor gene control resistance in PI178192. Bt7 and Bt8, together with another major gene and 2 minor genes (all unidentified), govern resistance in PI173438.
