- Observation Minor genes in some combinations conferred moderate resistance.
- Mechanism Minor genes modified the action of major resistance genes.
- Intervention effect Temperature profiles did not affect major gene action.
- Intervention effect Minor genes gave better resistance under a higher than a lower temperature profile.
