Pyramiding of Pi46 and Pita to improve blast resistance and to evaluate the resistance effect of the two R genes

Utilization of R (resistance) genes to develop resistant cultivars is an effective strategy to combat against rice blast disease. In this study, R genes Pi46 and Pita in a resistant accession H4 were introgressed into an elite restorer line Hang-Hui-179 (HH179) using the marker-assisted backcross br...
