Genome-wide association study and genomic prediction for resistance to brown planthopper in rice
Genome-wide association study and genomic prediction for resistance to brown planthopper in rice

The brown planthopper (BPH) is the most destructive insect pest that threatens rice production globally. Developing rice varieties incorporating BPH-resistant genes has proven to be an effective control measure against BPH. In this study, we assessed the resistance of a core collection consisting of 502 rice germplasms by evaluating resistance scores, weight gain rates and honeydew excretions. A total of 117 rice varieties (23.31%) exhibited resistance to BPH
