A gene for resistance to Erysiphe graminis was detected in the common wheat cultivars 'Norin 4', 'Norin 26', 'Norin 29', 'Shin-chunaga', and 'Penjamo 62', using a hybrid culture derived from E. graminis f.sp. agropyri × E. graminis f.sp. tritici. The gene was located on chromosome 1D and designated Pm10. Pm10 was considered to be involved in the resistance of wheat to the wheatgrass powdery mildew fungus. Key words: wheat, resistance, powdery mildew, Erysiphe graminis.
