The RiZeSisT project focuses on improving rice resistance to sheath blight disease caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani. By identifying and modifying susceptibility genes, the project aims to develop rice varieties with broad-spectrum resistance, enhancing food security.
Rice is a main staple food providing more than 50 percent of the world’s calories intake.
However, grain yield and quality are drastically reduced by the sheath blight disease (ShBD), the second most important disease.
ShBD is caused by the soilborne, necrotrophic fungal pathogen, Rhizoctonia solani.
No rice germplasm providing complete resistance is available, preventing improvement of cultivated rice varieties.
Generally, dominant resistance genes are used to generate resistance to pathogens.…
