Rice (Oryza sativa) plays a significant role in global food security. Various biotic and abiotic stresses limit rice production. Among the various biotic stress, rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryza is one of the most ruinous disease in all rice growing regions of the world. Use of resistant genes and quantitative resistance conferred by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is the best option for management of blast. | Mapping and deployment of blast resistance gene in rice A work in progress
