Although the genetic diversity in wild rice species was investigated, a fine genetic map of wild rice genome variation has not been constructed due to its complicated heterozygous form.
MAPK cascades have been implicated in diverse cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, proliferation, programed cell death and in responses to diversity of hormones and stresses.
Bacterial blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv.Oryzae, is one of the most economically destructive plant diseases limiting rice production in rice growing regions of the world.
