摘要 |
The present invention is in the field of rice genetics. More specifically, the invention relates to nucleic acid molecules from regions in the rice genome, which are associated with resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea. The invention relates to methods which employ such nucleic acid molecules to produce plants, particularly rice plants, that are resistant to infection by Magnaporthe grisea. The invention relates to the use of such nucleic acids or fragments thereof as markers for resistance to infection with Magnaporthe grisea in a plant breeding program. The invention also relates to proteins encoded by such nucleic acid molecules as well as antibodies capable of recognizing these proteins.
