Integrating association mapping, linkage mapping, fine mapping with RNA Seq conferring seedling vigor improvement for successful crop establishment in deep sown direct-seeded rice
Publicado 2023“…Conclusion The study will provide rice breeders (1) the pre breeding material in the form of anticipated DSR adapted introgression lines possessing useful traits and alleles improving germination under deep sown DSR field conditions (2) the base for the studies involving functional characterization of candidate genes. The development and utilization of improved introgression lines and molecular markers may play an important role in genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) during the pyramiding of valuable genes providing adaptation to rice under DSR. …”

Current status of brown planthopper (BPH) resistance and genetics
Publicado 2010“…Two BPH resistance genes (Bph14andBph18) have been cloned, and a snow drop lectin gene (GNA) has been identified and used in the development of BPH-resistant transgenic plants. Efficient introgression of resistance genes (Bph1,bph2,Bph3,Bph14,Bph15,Bph18,Bph20, andBph21) into elite rice cultivars by marker-assisted selection together with strategic deployment of these genes can be an important approach to develop stable resistance to BPH and sustain rice production in the tropical and temperate rice growing regions.…”
