Abstract
Common wheat cultivar Virest possesses mildew resistance which is different from resistances expressed by currently documented mildew resistance genes, detected by response to eleven differential wheat powdery mildew isolates. F2 populations from hybrids of the 21 'Chinese Spring' monosomic lines with 'Virest' revealed one major dominant gene, located on wheat chromosome 1D. The new gene is designated Pm22. Italian cultivars Ella, Est Mottin, Ovest and Tudest also showed the disease response pattern corresponding to 'Virest'.
