Rmg8 and Rmg7, genes for resistance to wheat blast, proved to be a homoeologue and an allele of Pm4, a gene for resistance to powdery mildew. Their functional homologues were also found in Aegilops spp., suggesting that their origin dates back to the time before differentiation of Triticum and Aegilops.
