Three rice mapping populations of 208 BC 1 F 2 , 333 BC 3 F 2 and 335 F 2 lines derived from crosses of PTB33 × RD6, Rathu Heenati × KDML105 and IR71033-121-15 × KDML105, respectively, were used to detect brown planthopper (BPH) resistance genes. The modified mass tiller screening (MMTS) method was applied to evaluate the BPH resistance of all mapping population lines at the tillering stage. The BPH resistance genes detected from the BC 1 F 2 , BC 3 F 2 and F 2 populations were mapped in the same genomic region on the short arm of chromosome 6. The tightly linked markers RM589 and RM586 could explain 59.8%, 28.2% and 57.4 % of the phenotypic variance of the BPH resistance from the BC 1 F 2 , F 2 and BC 3 F 2 , respectively. The tightly linked SSR markers identified from this study should be useful in marker-assisted breeding to produce BPH resistant cultivars.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
