Abstract
Digu, an indica rice variety, is an important genetic resource for its universal resistance to rice blast disease in China, from which, three new resistant (R) genes, Pi-d(t)1, Pi-d2, and Pi-d3, have been identified by genetic and molecular assays. Among them, the broad spectrum R genes, Pi-d2 and Pi-d3 have been cloned. Pi-d2 encodes a B-lectin receptor-like kinase while Pi-d3 an NBS-LRR protein. As Pi-d2 and Pi-d3 belong to different classes of R genes, they may confer resistance to the pathogen Magnaporthe grisea through different signaling pathways. Thus we conclude that the universal resistance of rice Digu is probably due to its complicated resistance mechanisms mediated by different signaling cascades.
