Periodic Reporting for period 1 - RiZeSisT (Discovering susceptibility genes to Rhizoctonia solani in rice as breeding targets for sheath blight disease resistance)

Conclusion of the action: In “RiZeSisT” to breed for broad-spectrum resistance in rice to the sheath blight disease (ShBD), caused by the soil-borne fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, we proposed to employ altered susceptibility genes (S genes). The molecular mechanisms...
