- Publication
- Pi64, Encoding a Novel CC-NBS-LRR Protein, Confers Resistance to Leaf and Neck Blast in Rice., 2015, Mol Plant Microbe Interact.
-
Genbank accession number
- Key message
- Only transformants with NBS-2 conferred resistance to leaf and neck blast, validating the idea that NBS-2 represents the functional Pi64 gene
- Furthermore, introgression of Pi64 into susceptible cultivars via gene transformation and marker-assisted selection conferred high-level and broad-spectrum leaf and neck blast resistance to indica-sourced isolates, demonstrating its potential utility in breeding BSR rice cultivars
- Pi64 is constitutively expressed at all development stages and in all tissues examined
- Pi64 protein is localized in both the cytoplasm and nucleus
