Introgression of durable blast resistance gene Pi-54 into indica rice cv. samba mahsuri, through Marker Assisted Backcross Breeding

Introgression of durable blast resistance gene Pi-54 into indica rice cv. samba mahsuri, through Marker Assisted Backcross Breeding

Blast disease is one of the most significant diseases of rice, where severe infection results in more than 80% reduction in yield. It is caused by Pyricularia oryzae. New breeding strategies are essential for developing durable blast resistant varieties. The present study aimed to introgress Pi-54 g...
