Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik subsp. culinaris) is an autogamous diploid (2n=2x=14), cool season food legume crop cultivated globally. Genomic resources in lentil are limited in comparison with other food legumes, primarily due to large genome size and lack of genetic variation. The present study was aimed to evaluate a set of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from L9-12 × FLIP 2004-7L under irrigated condition and to identify the high yielding rust resistant recombinant inbred lines in lentil. The inheritance of resistance to rust was examined in F1, F2 and RIL (F8) population of a cross involving a rust resistant exotic line FLIP2004-7L and a susceptible well adapted Indian cultivar L9-12. The results of genetic analysis of F1 and F2 showed that a single recessive gene controls rust resistance in lentil. This was further confirmed by the segregation pattern in the RIL population. A few high yielding rust resistant RILs were also identified. Other highly rust resistant lines may be used as donors in rust breeding programmes of lentil.
