Rice Pathogens in Japan

  • Chapter
Fungicide Resistance in Plant Pathogens

Abstract

Magnaporthe oryzae causes blast, the most serious disease on rice. The fungus is genetically diverse and hence easily develops resistance to fungicides. In Japan, it started from the resistance to kasugamycin and has continued up until MBI-D and QoI fungicide resistance experienced most recently. The history of fungicide resistance occurred on rice blast disease and research and countermeasure taken in the country are summarized in this chapter. Some related information from overseas is also introduced.
