Open AccessEffect of nitrogen fertilizer on the resistance of rice near-isogenic lines with BPH resistance genes
Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Crops with a high nitrogen input usually have high yields. However, outbreaks of brown planthoppers (Nilaparvata lugens; BPH) frequently oc...

Open AccessThe Impact of Climate Change on the Resistance of Rice Near-Isogenic Lines with Resistance Genes Against Brown Planthopper
The impact of climate change on insect resistance genes is elusive. Hence, we investigated the responses of rice near-isogenic lines (NILs) that carry resistance genes against brown planthopper (BPH) under dif...

Open AccessDevelopment and validation of allele-specific SNP/indel markers for eight yield-enhancing genes using whole-genome sequencing strategy to increase yield potential of rice, Oryza sativa L.
Rice is one of the major staple foods in the world, especially in the develo** countries of Asia. Its consumption as a dietary source is also increasing in Africa. To meet the demand for rice to feed the inc...

Development and validation of SNP-based functional codominant markers for two major disease resistance genes in rice (O. sativa L.)
Blast and bacterial leaf blight are major diseases of rice that limit grain yield significantly. These two devastating biotic stresses have to be controlled to meet the demand for 23 % more rice production by...
