The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens Stål) is still considered a major threat to rice farmers. Exploring novel resistance genes that relate to the BPH population in the targeted rice-growing area might be a suitable solution. We identified and mapped the gene locus using 175 lines of F2:3 populations derived from Balamawee × PD601. Genomic analysis was then used to identify the candidate gene governing the resistance toward BPH.
