Abstract
Blast caused by Pyricularia grisea (telemorph Magnaporthe grisea) (Rossman et al., 1989) is the most destructive disease in Japan. Many rice cultivars with complete resistance have been developed to control the disease. However, the resistance in the cultivars has been broken down within several years after their release due to the increase in new races of rice bast fungus virulent to the resistance (Kiyosawa, 1974; Yamanaka and Yamaguchi, 1987). To prevent the breakdown of the resistance, the use of multilines proposed by Jensen (1952) and Borlaug (1959) was suggested, and reduction of blast development in mixtures of rice cultivars and near-isogenic lines with different complete resistance genes to blast has been reported (Koizumi, 1983; Shindo and Horino, 1989; Koizumi, 1994; Koizumi and Fuji, 1994; Koizumi et al., 1996; Nakajima et al., 1996a).
