Abstract

Blast is one of the devastating diseases of rice which cause significant yield losses. Blast is mainly managed by the use of fungicides. However, this approach is not eco-friendly and causes health hazards. Basmati is the specialty rice of India with great export potential. However, the importing nations have increased the stringency in maximum permissible limits of pesticide residues in the grain, which has led to rejection of several Basmati rice consignments. Therefore, developing genetic resistance is one of the most pragmatic approaches to address this issue. More than 100 blast resistance genes have been identified which can be effectively deployed into the high-yielding rice varieties through marker-assisted backcross breeding. In India the major blast resistance genes, namely Pi9, Pi2, Pi54, Pita, and Pi1, are widely used to develop blast resistance in popular rice varieties. Until recently, blast-resistant varieties developed in India are Pusa Basmati 1637, Pusa Basmati 1609, Pusa 1612, and Pusa Samba 1850. Effective adoption of these varieties would significantly reduce the use of chemical pesticides, thereby producing consumer-safe rice with eco-friendly approach.
