DNA-Based Markers in Plants

Abstract

Rice blast caused by Pyricularia grisea Sacc. (= P. oryzae Cav., teleomorph Magnaporthe grisea Barr.), is one of the most widespread and destructive diseases of rice. Incorporation of blast resistance genes into elite rice cultivars has been a priority in rice breeding for decades in virtually all rice growing countries. Although resistance to blast is often short-lived, some cultivars are considered to possess durable resistance (Johnson 1981). Durable resistance is thought to be associated with partial resistance that is in many cases under oligo-or polygenic control (Higashi and Kushibuchi 1978; Higashi and Saito 1985; Wang et al. 1994; Parlevliet 1988). For example, the rice cultivar Moroberekan displays durable resistance to blast in upland conditions (Bidaux 1978; Ahn 1994; Fomba and Taylor 1994). The use of molecular markers has facilitated studies of the genetic basis of this durable blast resistance (Wang et al. 1994; Chen et al. 1997; Inukai and Aya 1997; Inukai et al. 1997).
