Asian rice gall midge (Orseolia oryzae Wood-Mason) is the most destructive pest of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in several regions of South and Southeast Asia. Resistance to gall midge is primarily governed by single dominant genes in rice, thus newly evolving biotypes are able to overcome resistance genes rendering these genes ineffective. The objective of this study was to identify the gall midge resistance genes present in BG 380-2 and 'Gurmatia' and their relationship to known resistance gene...
