Characterization of a Putative Rice Mutant for Reaction to Rice Tungro Disease
2008-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Artificial mutations may induce traits that are scarce among natural germplasm sources. This study was conducted to characterize a rice line derived from variety IR64 showing resistance to rice tungro disease (RTD). Approximately 24,000 lines derived from IR64 seeds treated with mutagens were evaluated for reaction to RTD. One of the lines, M4D6 83-1 (MD83), showed enhanced resistance to RTD. MD83 was resistant to...
