Abstract
En 中文
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae), is one of the most destructive diseases of rice and poses a critical threat to global food security. Breeding rice varieties with broad-spectrum and durable resistance through the deployment of resistance (R) genes remains the most effective and economical control strategy. In this study, we identified a highly blast-resistant rice variety, Xiushui114 (XS), by screening diverse rice accessions across three blast nurseries from 2016 to 2019. Pathogenicity assays demonstrated that XS exhibits resistance to more than 16 M. oryzae strains collected from major rice-growing regions, indicating a broad-spectrum resistance phenotype. Genetic analyses revealed that XS carries multiple R genes. Using a map-based cloning approach and sequence analysis further confirmed the presence of several known blast R genes, including Pizh, Pik-KA, Pita, and Pib, in XS. Resistance-spectrum evaluation indicated that Pizh contributes predominantly to the strong resistance observed in XS. Together, these findings establish XS as a valuable germplasm resource for improving rice blast resistance and provide new insights for breeding programs aiming to develop durable, broad-spectrum blast-resistant cultivars.
