Use of genomic selection in breeding rice (Oryza sativa L.) for resistance to rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae)
2019-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Rice blast (RB), caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, is a major disease in rice (Oryzae sativa L.) with resistance controlled by major and minor genes. Genomic selection (GS) is a breeding technology applicable for selecting traits controlled by many genes. Our objective was to assess the utility of GS in improving RB resistance. A population of 161 accessions from Africa and another population of 16...
