Disease Resistance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Genetics and Genomics of Rice

Part of the book series: Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models ((PGG,volume 5))

Abstract

Rice, as a crop that is closely related to human being, is severely damaged by diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. Application of natural genetic disease resistance mechanisms is the most economical and environmentally friendly approach to solve this problem. Research results on some rice–pathogen interaction systems provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms of both qualitative and quantitative resistance. Compare with qualitative resistance, quantitative resistance is more broad spectrum and durable. It is the most important or only form of resistance to necrotrophic pathogens and even some biotrophic pathogens. So, besides R genes, PRRs and genes contributing to resistance QTLs also are valuable resources for the improvement of rice disease resistance.
