Resistance Spectrum Analysis and Breeding Utilization of Rice Blast Resistance Gene Pigm-1
Resistance Spectrum Analysis and Breeding Utilization of Rice Blast Resistance Gene Pigm-1

Rice blast is one of the most important diseases of rice, causing significant economic losses to agricultural production. A new gene, Pigm-1, which is allelic to Pigm, was cloned from Shuangkang 77009 using map based cloning. However, it is unclear whether there is a difference in the resistance spectrum between Pigm and Pigm-1. In this study, using 195 rice blast isolates collected from different areas of the Fujian Province, the Pigm-1 and Pigm single gene lines were inoculated to test their resistance.
