A new gene, developed through mutagenesis, for resistance of rice to bacterial leaf blight (Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
An induced mutant of rice, designated M41, resistant to several races of bacterial leaf blight, obtained after irradiation with thermal neutrons, was crossed with the original variety, Harebare. Test crosses revealed that the resistance of M41 to the Japanese races I, II, III and IV is controlled by a single recessive gene, considered to be different from four previously identified dominant resistance genes of japonica-type varieties and from three recessive genes in indica-type varieties for resistance to Philippine races. The gene in M41 was tentatively designated xa-nm(t).
