Allele Mining and Expression Profiling of Resistance- and Avirulence- genes in Rice-Blast Pathosystem for Development of Race Non-Specific Disease Resistance

Deliverables

• Novel alleles for blast resistance genes and pathogen Avr genes
• SNPs associated with blast resistant phenotypes
• Pathogen inducible promoters from rice
• R: AVR gene construct for  broad spectrum resistance to blast
• Near isogenic lines for 7 blast resistance genes in the genetic background of Pusa Basmati-1 and BPT5204.
