Developing cultivars resistant against different biotypes of brown planthopper (BPH) through
marker-assisted selection (MAS) is an effective management strategy to control this pest. In
this study, 28 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were analyzed in 108 F3
progenies derived from the cross of Rathu Heenati and MR276 rice cultivars to investigate
the association with BPH resistance against biotypes 2 and 3. For statistical analysis,
parents and their offspring were grouped into 2 phenotypic classes based on their levels of …
