Genes conditioning reaction to Puccinia hordei in the barley cultivars Cebada Capa (C.I. 6193) and Franger (C.I. 8811) are at the Pa₅ and Pa₄ loci, respectively. Pa₄ is linked with Ml_a on chromosome 5. Linkage was detected between Pa₃ in cv. Estate (C.I. 3410) and Pa₅ in Cebada Capa, with recombination estimated at 33.8 ± 3.4%. The second gene in cv. Bolivia, previously designated Pa_x, is now relabeled Pa₆.
