Introgression of Pi2 and Pi5 Genes for Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) Resistance in Rice and Field Evaluation of Introgression Lines for Resistance and Yield Traits
2017-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is the most devastating disease causing significant loss in rice production. The destructive nature of the disease is mainly due to the genetic plasticity of M. oryzae which complicates the breeding strategies. Blast can be effectively managed by the deployment of R genes. In this study, broad‐spectrum blast resistance genes Pi2 and Pi5 were introgressed independently into popula...
