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

 

Output

  • 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

Outcome and Impact

  • Patents on cloned   promoters and gene constructs.
  • A gene construct consisting of Pi-kh :AVR-Pi-kh  for developing race non-specific resistance in rice.
  • Bio-informatics approaches developed for protein modeling and protein-protein interaction.
  • Near isogenic lines for 7 blast resistance genes in the genetic background of Pusa Basmati-1 and BPT5204 which can be used as pre-breeding material in blast improvement programme.
