    AnnotationMal de Rio Cuarto, is the most important virus disease of corn, Zea mays L., in Argentina. It is caused by the Mal de Rio Cuarto virus (family Reoviridae, genus Fijivirus. MRCV), which is a persistent virus transmitted by Delphacodes kuscheli (Fennah 1955) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae). Because corn is not a natural host of D. kuscheli, it has little protection from this pest. In contrast, wheat, Triticum aestivum L., is one of the main hosts of this vector and a reservoir of MRCV. The aim of this work was to identify genes involved in antixenosis, antibiosis, and tolerance of infestation by D. kuscheli in wheat, which might be used to reduce the population level of this vector on corn.
