Identification of microsatellite markers linked to the blast resistance gene Pi-1(t) in rice by Fuentes, J.L, Correa Victoria, Fernando J., Escobar, F., Prado Patiño, Gustavo A., Aricapa, María Girlena, Duque E., Myriam Cristina, Tohme, Joseph M.

“…The present work was conducted to identify microsatellite markers linked to the rice blast resistance gene Pi-1(t) for a marker-assisted selection program. Twenty-four primer pairs corresponding to 19 microsatellite loci were selected from the Gramene database (www. gramene.org) considering their relative proximity to Pi-1(t) gene in the current rice genetic map. …”
