Marker‐assisted introgression of broad‐spectrum blast resistance genes into the cultivated MR219 rice variety

BACKGROUND: The rice cultivar MR219 is famous for its better yield and long and fine grain quality; however, it is susceptible to blast disease. The main objective of this study was to introgress blast resistance genes into MR219 through marker‐assisted selection (MAS). The rice cultivar MR219 was u...
