Identification of quantitative trait loci conferring blast resistance in Bodao, a japonica rice landrace
“Identification of quantitative trait loci conferring blast resistance in Bodao, a japonica rice landrace”, vol. 13, pp. 9756-9765, 2014.
, Bodao, a japonica landrace from the Taihu Lake region of China, is highly resistant to most Chinese isolates of Magnaporthe oryzea, a form of rice blast. To effectively dissect the influence of genetics on this blast resistance, a population of 155 recombinant inbred lines (F2:8) derived from a cross of Bodao x Suyunuo was inoculated with 12 blast isolates. Using a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approach, 13 QTL on chromosomes 1, 2, 9, 11, and 12 were detected from Bodao.
