Tm. Kolomiets et Ed. Kovalenko, CHARACTERISTICS OF BLAST RESISTANCE GENOT YPE IN RICE CULTIVARS FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE WORLD, Genetika, 31(3), 1995, pp. 382-384
Genes for blast resistance in rice cultivars from different regions of
the world were analyzed in relation to ecological differentiation of
the species Oryzae sativa L. A wide diversity of resistance genes occu
rred in the south Asian and Latin American ecological geographical gro
ups. Many cultivars with effective resistance genes against races of t
he native pathogen population were revealed in samples of Iranian, sou
th Asian, Philippine, and Latin American ecological geographical group
s.
