Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Water-saving and drought-resistance rice (WDR) is crucial for sustainable cultivation under water scarcity, yet its productivity is increasingly compromised by rice blast and bacterial blight (BB). A systematic assessment of resistance gene deployment in elite WDR parents is urgently needed to guide resistance breeding. RESULTS: We dissected the resistance architecture of 47 core WDR parental lines by...
