Sequence variation at the rice blast resistance gene Pi-km locus: Implications for the development of allele specific markers
2010-06-01
Abstract excerpt
The recently cloned blast resistance (R) gene Pi-km protects rice crops against specific races of the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae in a gene-for-gene manner. The use of blast R genes remains the most cost-effective method for an integrated disease management strategy. To facilitate rice breeding we developed a Pi-km specific DNA marker. For this purpose, we initially explored the existing sequence diversity...
