Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCSU02G074100LC
• Gene Symbol: Mds-1
• Gene Name: Mayetiola destructor susceptibility-1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• We examined the impact of silencing and ectopic expression of Mds-1 in susceptible and resistant wheat genotypes.
• Silencing of Mds-1 inhibits Hessian fly development.
• Mds-1 confers resistance gene plants susceptibility.
• Here we show that the gene Mayetiola destructor susceptibility-1 on wheat chromosome 3AS encodes a small heat-shock protein and is a major susceptibility gene for infestation of wheat by the gall midge M. destructor, commonly known as the Hessian fly.
• Silencing of Mayetiola destructor susceptibility-1 by RNA interference confers immunity to all Hessian fly biotypes on normally susceptible wheat genotypes. Mayetiola destructor susceptibility-1-silenced plants also show reduced lesion formation due to infection by the powdery mildew fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici.
