The Asian rice gall midge (ARGM) Orseolia
oryzae (Wood-Mason)
Since then, > 100 rice varieties resistant to gall midge have been released for
cultivation.
Roy et al. (1969) first suspected the occurrence of gall midge biotypes (GMB).

Three of the genes viz., gm3, Gm4, and Gm8, have been cloned
through map-based approach, and candidate genes for these have
been identified as
gm3: NB-ARC (LOC_Os04g52970.1) (Sama et al. 2014),
Gm4: NBS-LRR (LOC_Os08g09670.1) (Divya et al. 2015)
Gm8: Proline rice protein (Dutta et al. 2014).
