Integrated genetic analysis of leaf blast resistance in upland rice: QTL mapping, bulked segregant analysis and transcriptome sequencing

ABSTRACT: Abstract Elite upland rice cultivars have the advantages of less water requirement along with high yield but are usually susceptible to various diseases. Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is the most devastating disease in rice. Identification of new sources of resistance and the introgression of major resistance genes into elite cultivars are required for sustainable rice production. In this study, an upland rice genotype UR0803 was considered an emerging source of blast resistance. An F2 mapping population was developed from a cross between UR0803 and a local susceptible cultivar Lijiang Xintuan Heigu. The individuals from the F2 population were evaluated for leaf blast resistance in three trials 7 days after inoculation. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) by high-throughput sequencin
