Development of Rice Variety With Durable and Broad-Spectrum Resistance to Blast Disease Through Marker-Assisted Introduction of Pigm Gene
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (M.oryzae), is one of the most destructive diseases threatening rice production worldwide.Development of resistant cultivars using broad-spectrum resistance (R) genes with high breeding value is the most effective and economical approach to control this disease.In this study, the breeding potential of Pigm g
