TL;DR: The potential of mutation breeding as a flexible and practicable approach applicable to any crop provided that appropriate objectives and selection methods are used is highlighted.

TL;DR: The application of conventional breeding, tissue culture and DNA-based markers that are used for accelerating the development of blast resistant rice cultivars are outlined and update information will be helpful guidance for rice breeders to develop durable blastresistant rice variety through marker assisted selection.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge concerning the linkage of microsatellite markers to rice blast resistance genes, as well as to explore the use of MAS in rice breeding programs aimed at improving blast resistance in this species.

TL;DR: This paper reviews recent literature on some examples of variety/ line development using MABC strategy in rice growing countries through MABC within the shortest timeframe.

TL;DR: Waterlogging response of soybean and major cereal crops, as rice, wheat, barley, and maize and discovery of QTL related with tolerance of waterlogging, development of resistant variety, and, in addition, future prospects have been discussed.
