Wild rices are an important source of useful genes for resistance to diseases, insect pests, tolerance to abiotic stresses and yield increase. Interspecific hybrids were successfully produced between ten accessions of O. minuta (2n=48, BBCC) and O. sativa
Resistance genes to the blast pathogen (Pyricularia grisea Sacc.) were mapped using a recombinant inbred population consisting of 231 lines derived from a cross between the japonica parents, ‘Suwon365’ and Chucheongbyeo. Phenotypic analysis showed that Su
Diversity of 80 japonica rice cultivars was evaluated using 65 microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers. Sixty-five microsatellite markers representing 65 loci in the rice genome detected polymorphisms among the 80 cultivars and revealed 28
