Russian wheat aphid, <i>Diuraphis noxia</i> (Kurdjumov), is a severe pest of wheat, <i>Triticum aestivum</i> L., throughout the world. Resistant cultivars are viewed as the most economical and environmentally viable control available. Studies to identify molecular markers to facilitate resistance breeding started in the 1990s, and still continue. This paper reviews and discusses the literature pertaining to the <i>D. noxia</i> R-genes on chromosome 7D, and markers reported to be associated with
