Description
Blast disease is one of the major fungal diseases infecting rice production in Malaysia. This disease can cause up to 50% yield loss during severe infestation. The breeding program for development of blast resistant varieties without compromising high-yield is the most durable and Environmental Sciences friendly process of enhancing sustainable rice production.Broad-spectrum blast resistance genes (Piz, Pi2 and Pi9) were introgressed from local resistant rice variety (Pongsu Seribu 1) into high-yielding but highly blast-susceptible (MR219) through marker-assisted backcross breeding. The agronomic performance of advanced blast-resistant lines was evaluated for yield performance in glasshouse and four granary rice areas. NOVELTY AND ADVANTAGES •Yield 10 to 12 t/ha •The newly developed blast resistant rice variety reduces yield loss and increase productivity by 20- 30% •Environmental Sciences friendly with less application of fungicides
