Description:
HA-R15 (R5/R12/PlArg) is a F3-derived F4 maintainer selection from the cross of HA-R2 and RHA 464. HA-R2 (PI 650753) is an oilseed maintainer line harboring the rust resistance gene R5 mapped to linkage group (LG) 2 of the sunflower genome. RHA 464 (PI 655015) is an oilseed restorer line harboring the rust gene R12 mapped to LG11 and a downy mildew gene PlArg mapped on LG1.
