To improve blast resistance of the rice cytoplasmic male sterile(CMS)line Sanxiang A and its maintainer Sanxiang B,a PCR-based co-dominant In Del marker Co In DF1 R1 was developed to select the broadspectrum and durable blast resistance gene Pi9 in breeding practice. By performing the greenhouse inoculation assay using twenty-eight Magnaporthe oryzae strains isolated from different rice areas in China and abroad,the Pi9 gene donor rice line 75-1-127 showed much higher resistance frequency(85.71%)than that of two acceptor parents Sanxiang A and Sanxiang B(28.57%). The Pi9 functional marker Co I...
