Research Project:
Identification of Qtls Associated with Sheath Blight Resistance Genes in Rice
Location: Beaumont, Texas
Project Number: 6203-21000-001-14
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 01, 2005
End Date: Mar 31, 2010
Objective:
Identify molecular markers linked tightly enough with genes conferring resistance to rice sheath blight disease that they can be used as molecular gene tags in a breeding selection scheme.
Approach:
Molecular markers, sheath blight ratings, and marker-trait associations will be evaluated in two rice populations. Field-plot evaluations will be conducted in the joint TAES/USDA sheath blight field nursery.
