Genetic Variation of Rice Blast Resistance Genes in Oryza sativa and Its Wild Relatives
2011-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Rice blast is one of the most serious diseases of cultivated rice. We characterize here the nucleotide variation present at nine blast resistance (R) genes within a collection of 13 indica and 13 japonica rice cultivars, along with 12 accessions of wild rice (Oryza rufipogon). Compared with other functional genes, high genetic diversity has been observed in blast R genes (mean nucleotide diversity of 3.2%), which...
