Abstract excerpt
Sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, severely affects rice, causing 20-69% yield losses in tropical and temperate regions. Key challenges include the pathogen's broad host range, persistent sclerotia, climate change, and the reliance on semi-dwarf varieties. The disease's complex inheritance and lack of highly resistant cultivars hinder management, making resistant variety breeding a sustainable solution....
