Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TmMla1
• Gene Name: Mla homologue 1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The wheat Mla homologue TmMla1 exhibits an evolutionarily conserved function against powdery mildew in both wheat and barley.
• TmMla1 was found to be a functional resistance gene against Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici in wheat, hereby providing an example of R gene orthologs controlling the same disease in two different species.
• TmMla1 not only confers resistance in wheat but possibly also in barley against an as yet unknown barley powdery mildew race.
• This suggests a high stability of Mla resistance in the natural environment before domestication.
