Evidence of Trade-Offs Between Blast Resistance and Yield in Rice

Evidence of Trade-Offs Between Blast Resistance and Yield in Rice

Wang et al. evaluated agronomic traits and resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae in 151 resistant cultivars and used genome-wide association analysis to delineate loci for resistance and agronomic traits. Their analysis revealed loci for blast resistance and demonstrated that resistance is associated with shorter plants and reduced seed weight.
