Pyramiding of four resistance genes of bacterial blight in Tapaswini, an elite rice cultivar, through marker-assisted selection
2013-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Breeding for resistance against Bacterial blight (BB), a destructive disease in rice, is a major challenge because of the rich diversity of the pathogen, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. Three resistance genes i.e. xa5, xa13 and Xa21 were transferred from IRBB 60 through marker-assisted backcross breeding to supplement the Xa4 gene present in Tapaswini, an elite cultivar having a wide coverage. The precise transfer...
