Development of semi-dwarf bacterial blight disease resistant lines of “Ranbir Basmati”
In the current study, a marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB) strategy was employed to transfer two bacterial blight (BB) resistance genes (Xa21 and xa13) alongside a dwarfing gene (sd1) into Ranbir Basmati. The molecular markers, specifically pTA 248, xa13prom and h, which are associated with Xa21, xa13 and sd1 re...
