Marker‐assisted selection for rice blast resistance genes Pi2 and Pi9 through high‐resolution melting of a gene‐targeted amplicon
2017-02-01
Abstract excerpt
The use of host resistance (R) genes is considered the most cost‐effective option to control the rice blast disease. The two allelic R genes Pi2 and Pi9 confer very broad‐spectrum resistance against blast isolates collected worldwide. However, the two genes have not yet been widely deployed in rice breeding programmes. Availability of specific markers for them would facilitate incorporating the two R genes into ne...
