Resistance to gall midge is primarily governed mately 100 different rice lines as donors. The Gm1 (gall by single dominant genes in rice, thus newly evolving biotypes are able to overcome resistance genes rendering these genes ineffective.midge resistant) gene identified in 'Samridhi' and Gm2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
