Abstract excerpt
Intra-and interspecific DNA variations in the blast resistance gene Pita in wild rice (Oryza rufipogon), cultivated rice (O. sativa), and two other related wild rice species (O. meridionalis and O. officinalis) were analyzed to elucidate the nucleotide polymorphism maintenance mechanisms and evolution of Pita in these species. Nucleotide diversity at silent sites of O. rufipogon Pita was 0.0101, an intermediate...
