Rmg8 and Rmg7 are genes for resistance to the wheat blast fungus (Pyricularia oryzae), located on chromosome 2B in hexaploid wheat and chromosome 2A in tetraploid wheat, respectively. AVR-Rmg8, an avirulence gene corresponding to Rmg8, was isolated from a wheat blast isolate through a map-based strategy. The cloned fragment encoded a small protein containing a putative signal peptide. AVR-Rmg8 was recognized not only by Rmg8, but also by Rmg7, suggesting that these two resistance genes are equivalent to a single gene from the viewpoint of resistance breeding.
Rmg8 和 Rmg7 是分别位于六倍体小麦 2B 染色体和四倍体小麦 2A 染色体上对小麦穗发芽真菌(Pyricularia oryzae)具有抗性的基因。通过基于图谱的策略,从一个小麦穗发芽分离物中分离出了一个与 Rmg8 对应的无毒基因 AVR-Rmg8。该克隆片段编码一个含有假定信号肽的小蛋白。AVR-Rmg8 不仅被 Rmg8 识别,也被 Rmg7 识别,这表明从抗性育种的角度来看,这两个抗性基因等同于单个基因。
