The Pid Family Has Been Diverged into Xian and Geng Type Resistance Genes against Rice Blast Disease.

ABSTRACT: Rice blast (the causative agent the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae) represents a major constraint on the productivity of one of the world's most important staple food crops. Genes encoding resistance have been identified in both the Xian and Geng subspecies genepools, and combining these within new cultivars represents a rational means of combating the pathogen. In this research, deeper allele mining was carried out on Pid2, Pid3, and Pid4 via each comprehensive FNP marker set in three panels consisting of 70 Xian and 58 Geng cultivars. Within Pid2, three functional and one non-functional alleles were identified; the former were only identified in Xian type entries. At Pid3, four functional and one non-functional allel
