Abstract excerpt
Rice blast, caused by fungus Magnaporthe grisea, is one of the most serious diseases of rice throughout the world and is also a classical system in which avirulence (AVR) genes in the pathogen show a functional correspondence with particular resistance (R) genes in rice. The interaction between AVR-pita gene in Magnaporthe grsiea and Pi-ta gene in rice is a classical gene-for-gene system. The genetic diversity of...
