“…Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify different resistant resources for aggregated rice breeding (Zhang, ). In the past decade, great efforts have been made to identify plant endogenous resistance genes to BPH from different rice germplasms, and eight of them, Bph14 , Bph26 , Bph3 , Bph18 , Bph29 , BPH9 , BPH32 and BPH6 , have been successfully cloned (Du et al ., ; Guo et al ., ; Ji et al ., ; Liu et al ., ; Ren et al ., ; Tamura et al ., ; Wang et al ., ; Zhao et al ., ). In addition, reverse genetics has also contributed some gene resources (Guo et al ., ; Zhou et al ., ).…”
