The resistance to white rust is conferred by one or more alleles that co-segregate with at least one molecular marker selected from the group of SEQ ID No. 1-10. The resistance to downy mildew is conferred by an allele that co-segregates with at least one molecular marker selected from the group of SEQ ID No. 11-13. The disclosure relates further to the use of the molecular markers.
