Blast disease caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae is the most severe
diseases of rice. Using classical plant breeding techniques, breeders have developed a …

Wild plants and their associated pathogens are involved in ongoing interactions over
millennia that have been modified by coevolutionary processes to limit the spatial extent and …

The rice blast resistance (R) gene Pi-ta mediates gene-for-gene resistance against strains of
the fungus Magnaporthe grisea that express avirulent alleles of AVR-Pita. Using a map …

The broad-spectrum rice blast resistance gene Pi9 was cloned using a map-based cloning
strategy. Sequencing of a 76-kb bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig spanning the …

Abstract Three major genes (Pi 1, Pi z-5 and Pi ta) for blast resistance on chromosomes 11,
6 and 12, respectively, were fine-mapped and closely linked RFLP markers identified. New …

The rice blast resistance gene Pikm was cloned by a map-based cloning strategy. High-
resolution genetic mapping and sequencing of the gene region in the Pikm-containing …

Rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, threatens global food security. The rice
blast pathosystem is a longstanding model system for understanding plant-microbe …

The rice–rice blast pathosystem is of great interest, not only because of the damaging
potential of rice blast to the rice crop, but also because both the pathogen and its host are …

In order to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the gene-for-gene type of
pathogen resistance, high-resolution genetic and physical mapping of resistance loci is …

We report the isolation of Pi1, a gene conferring broad-spectrum resistance to rice blast
(Magnaporthe oryzae). Using loss-and gain-of-function approaches, we demonstrate that …
