Evaluation of Genetic Resistance to Rice Blast: Searching for Varietal Resistance Stable over Space and Durable over Time

  • Chapter
Major Fungal Diseases of Rice

Abstract

Demand of farmers and consumers for rice cultivars with specific traits such as disease and pest resistance is increasing because they are the most economically viable and, environmentally sound option, and the preference of a health-conscious society. Blast is one of the major constraints to stable rice production in most blast-prone rice areas; evaluation of genetic resistance to rice blast is one essential and critical phase in a systematic and effective varietal improvement program.
