N2  - The hypothesis that the necrotic red leaf and red stripe reactions of grain sorghum to sugar-cane mosaic virus &ndash; Johnson grass strain infection are independently inherited was tested. Five F1 and 15 F2 populations and one bc1F1 population were grown under both high (26.6&ndash;23.8&#176;C) and low (15.5&#176;) temperature regimes following manual inoculation with the virus. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that the presence of a homozygous recessive allele, termed rlf, conditions the expression of the necrotic red leaf reaction following exposure of plants to low temperatures. Plants express only mosaic symptoms in the presence of the dominant allele RLF and the absence of the N gene. The previously reported N gene and the rlf gene were shown to be independently inherited.
