Marker-assisted breeding of Xa4, Xa21 and Xa27 in the restorer lines of hybrid rice for broad-spectrum and enhanced disease resistance to bacterial blight
2012-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Hybrid rice based on heterosis can significantly increase rice yield compared to inbred rice. Bacterial blight (BB) of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most destructive bacterial diseases that affect hybrid rice production. To breed a broad-spectrum and high disease resistance to BB in hybrid rice, we introduced the Xa4, Xa21 and Xa27 genes into the restorer lines of Mianhui 725 or...
