description The brown planthopper [<i>Nilaparvata lugens</i> (Stål.)] is one of the most destructive insect pests in all the rice-growing regions of the world. The pest is complicated to manage through the blanket application of chemical pesticides. The development of stable, durable <i>N. lugens</i>-resistant rice varieties is the most economical and efficient strategy to manage the pest. Landraces of red rice genotypes possess numerous nutritional and stress-resistant properties, though an exclusive study on the same is yet to be carried out. In the present study, we evaluated 28 red rice genotypes, along with two resistance checks and one susceptibility check, for their resistance to <i>N. lugens</i>. These promising lines revealed differential responses in the defense mechanism against the pest. The resistant accessions showed a greater accumulation of phenols, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase under <i>N. lugens</i>-stressed conditions. However, the concentration of soluble proteins was substantially decreased in all the test genotypes. The concentration of crude silica was at maximum in highly resistant genotypes. Six red rice genotypes, namely Mata Meher, Manipuri Black, Hermonona, Sonahanan, Bavdi, and Bacharya Khuta fall under the highly resistant category, and can be utilized as valuable sources of resistance in breeding programs.
