This invention relates to a
powdery mildew resistance
gene PmAeu1 derived from *Aegilops spp.*, its molecular markers, and applications, belonging to the field of
genetic engineering. This invention utilizes the
powdery mildew-resistant *Aegilops spp.* strain AE 1617 and the
powdery mildew-susceptible strain AE 538 to construct mapping populations. Through BSR-Seq, fine genetic mapping, third-generation
genome sequencing, and transgenic
verification, a new powdery
mildew resistance
gene, PmAeu1, was cloned. This invention has demonstrated through transgenic wheat research that the PmAeu1
gene can significantly improve wheat resistance to powdery
mildew. The *Aegilops spp.* powdery
mildew resistance gene PmAeu1 can be applied to genetically improve wheat varieties to enhance wheat's powdery mildew resistance. This invention also develops a
molecular marker, XAeuNLR1-2, for the PmAeu1 gene, which can be used to specifically detect the gene PmAeu1 as described in the claims and can be applied to marker-assisted breeding of the PmAeu1 gene.
