Recent research results concerning identification methods of resistance genes to fungal pathogens in cereals are reviewed in the paper. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) methods (STS, SCAR) are presented, useful for detection of resistance genes to powdery mildew and leaf rust in breeding forms of wheat. Methods and possibilities of new markers design are described. Examples of cloned resistance genes in cereals are given, followed with genes mapping in wheat and barley genomes.
