    Summary
    The high level of resistance to pea mosaic virus in the pea cultivar Bonneville is conferred by a single recessive gene. This factor, tentatively designated Pmv, is closely linked to mo, cyv, and sbm-2, which confer resistance to bean yellow mosaic virus, clover yellow mosaic virus, and the lentil strain of pea seedborne mosaic virus, respectively. These four genes are part of a cluster situated in linkage group 2. In the heterozygous condition mo was influenced by temperature, but cyv, pmv, and sbm-2 were not
