Fine mapping and DNA marker-assisted pyramiding of the three major genes for blast resistance in rice

Behavior of grape breeding lines with distinct resistance alleles to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola)

“…The positive effect of resistance gene pyramiding in controlling pathogens extends to other plant species: Exserohilum turcicum and Sphacelotheca reiliana in maize (Min et al 2012); Pyricularia grisea Sacc in rice (Hittalmani et al 2000); Phakopsora pachyrhizi in soybean (Maphosa et al 2012). …”

Fine mapping, physical mapping and development of diagnostic markers for the Rrs2 scald resistance gene in barley

“…The successful pyramiding of disease resistance genes or resistance QTLs and the effectiveness of this strategy has been reported for example for stripe rust (Castro et al 2003) or barley yellow mosaic virus resistance (Okada et al 2004, Werner et al 2005 in barley, leaf rust (Kloppers and Pretorius 1997) or powdery mildew resistance (Liu et al 2000) in wheat, as well as leaf blast (Hittalmani et al 2000) or bacterial blight resistance (Shanti et al 2001;Singh et al 2001) in rice.…”

Pyramiding of four blast resistance QTLs into Thai rice cultivar RD6 through marker-assisted selection

“…The availability of molecular markers, along with marker-assisted selection (MAS) strategies, is essential for the development of rice varieties with durable blast resistance against different races of M. oryzae (Ashkani et al 2012). The pyramiding of three blast R genes, Pi1, Piz-5 and Pita-2, into cultivars doi: 10.17221/51/2016-CJGPB was undertaken to provide broad-spectrum resistance to many isolates of M. oryzae (Hittalmani et al 2000). Moreover, the pseudo-backcrossing approach is the method for increasing the recurrent genetic background of the pyramiding population (Ruengphayak et al 2015).…”
