Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) (Hemiptera; Aphididae), Russian wheat aphid (RWA) causes death at heavily infested bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants. The pest is living in rolling leaves so its chemical control is difficult. The most effective and economical means of controlling Russian wheat aphid is through the use of resistant cultivars. Two resistant lines, 15 (FL302//BUC/PVN/3/RSK/CA8055//CHAM6) and 27 (BJN C 79/F96PYN3-1828) were crossed with susceptible cultivar Basribey in 2010 and t
