Integrating genotypic and phenotypic approaches for blast resistance selection in rice (Oryza sativa L.) segregating populations through marker-assisted selection
The present study aimed to develop blast-resistant homozygous recombinant lines through marker-assisted selection (MAS) in segregating populations derived from the cross between Pusa Samba 1850 and CO55. Unlike backcross-based approaches, selection was focused on F2 derived recombinants and their advancement to homozyg...
