Dynamic insertion of Pot3 in AvrPib prevailing in a field rice blast population in the Philippines led to the high virulence frequency against the resistance gene Pib in rice by Olukayode, Toluwase, Quime, Berlaine, Shen, Yin-Chi, Yanoria, Mary Jeannie, Zhang, Suobing, Yang, Jianyuan, Zhu, Xiaoyuan, Shen, Wei-Chiang, von Tiedemann, Andreas, Zhou, Bo

“…The Magnaporthe oryzae avirulence gene AvrPib is required for the resistance mediated by its cognate resistance gene Pib, which has been intensively used in indica rice breeding programs in many Asian countries. However, the sequence diversity of AvrPib among geographically distinct M. oryzae populations was recently shown to be increasing. …”

Vertically-bundled MRV system for climate change mitigation actions in rice cultivation, towards realising national climate goals by Trang, Vu Hong, Nelson, Katherine, Yen, Bui Tan, Cuong, Ong Quoc, Tran, Nguyen Bao

“…Rice production plays a crucial role in global food security and national economies, but also contributes significantly to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). In Southeast Asian countries, rice production is responsible for a larger amount of GHG emissions than livestock or other crops, and the highest share of Methane, a gas 28 times more potent than Carbon dioxide in global warming potential (https://cfpub.epa.gov/ghgdata/nonco2/). …”
