Abstract

A japonica rice cultivar from Africa, known to exhibit durable resistance to rice blast in Asia, was crossed to the popular upland cultivar Vandana, following the advanced backcross QTL approach. Field performance of advanced BC lines in India and the Philippines indicated that the major QTLs have been captured in the BC lines.
