S. Amudhan et al., Total phenol profile in some rice varieties in relation to infestation by Asian rice gall midge Orseolia oryzae (Wood-Mason), CURRENT SCI, 76(12), 1999, pp. 1577-1580
Estimation of total phenols at the stem bases in genetically related rice v
arieties in relation to the gall midge infestation revealed the role of phe
nols in expression of plant resistance involving hypersensitive reaction ag
ainst the insect conferred by the gene Gm2. However, their role in other ge
netically diverse rice varieties with gall midge resistance was not clear.
