Journal ArticleDOI
Doubling genome size without polyploidization: dynamics of retrotransposition-driven genomic expansions in Oryza australiensis, a wild relative of rice.
Benoît Piégu,Romain Guyot,Nathalie Picault,Anne C. Roulin,Abhijit Saniyal,Hyeran Kim,Kristi Collura,Darshan S. Brar,Scott A. Jackson,Rod A. Wing,Olivier Panaud +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that Oryza australiensis, a wild relative of the Asian cultivated rice O. sativa, has undergone recent bursts of three LTR-retrotransposon families, leading to a rapid twofold increase of its size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyramiding three bacterial blight resistance genes (xa5, xa13 and Xa21) using marker-assisted selection into indica rice cultivar PR106
S. Singh,J. S. Sidhu,Ning Huang,Yogesh Vikal,Zhikang Li,Darshan S. Brar,Harcharan Singh Dhaliwal,Gurdev S. Khush +7 more
TL;DR: Genes in combinations were found to provide high levels of resistance to the predominant Xoo isolates from the Punjab and six races of Xoo from the Philippines, and Xa21 was the most effective, followed by xa5.
Book ChapterDOI
Alien introgression in rice.
Darshan S. Brar,Gurdev S. Khush +1 more
TL;DR: The rapid recovery of recurrent phenotypes in BC2 and BC3 generations from wide crosses is an indication of limited recombination and cytogenetic and molecular investigations are required to determine precisely the mechanism of introgression of small chromosome segments from distant genomes in the face of limited homoeologous chromosome pairing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship as revealed by inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) polymorphism in the genus Oryza
TL;DR: ISSR analysis suggests that the genus Oryza may have evolved following a polyphyletic pathway, and is useful in the fingerprinting of cultivated and wild species germplasm, and in understanding the evolutionary relationships of Oryzo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence Tagged Site Marker-Assisted Selection for Three Bacterial Blight Resistance Genes in Rice
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the usefulness of MAS in gene pyramiding for BB resistance, particularly for recessive genes, such as xa5 and xa13, that are difficult to select through conventional breeding in the presence of a dominant gene such as Xa21.
