Abstract excerpt
SHZ-2 is an indica rice cultivar that exhibits broad-spectrum resistance to rice blast; it is widely used as a resistance donor in breeding programs. To dissect the QTL responsible for broad-spectrum blast resistance, we crossed SHZ-2 to TXZ-13, a blast susceptible indica variety, to produce 244 BC(4)F(3) lines. These lines were evaluated for blast resistance in greenhouse and field conditions. Chromosomal...
