Improvement in traits of agronomic importance is the top breeding priority of crop
improvement programs. Majority of these agronomic traits show complex quantitative …

Over half of the world's population relies on rice as their staple food. The brown planthopper
(Nilaparvata lugens Stål, BPH) is a significant insect pest that leads to global reductions in …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is both a vital source of food and a key model cereal for genomic
research. Insect pests are major factors constraining rice production. Here, we provide an …

Brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens Stål) is the most devastating pest of rice in
Asia and causes significant yield loss annually. Around 37 BPH resistance genes have been …

Highlights•Isolation and characterization of brown planthopper (BPH) resistance genes that
encode CC-NBS-LRR proteins and lectin receptor-like receptors have aided our …

Abstract The world-renowned Thai Hom Mali Rice has been the most important aromatic rice
originating in Thailand. The aromatic variety was collected from Chachoengsao, a central …

Key message Improving crop resistance against insect pests is crucial for ensuring future
food security. Integrating genomics with modern breeding methods holds enormous …

Rice is the most important staple food crop, and it feeds more than half of the world
population. Brown planthopper (BPH) is a major insect pest of rice that causes 20–80% yield …

Among the rice insects, brown planthopper (BPH),(Nilaparvata lugens Stål) is a
monophagous migratory phloem-sucking insect causing severe loss in Asiatic countries …

Background Host-plant resistance is the most desirable and economic way to overcome
BPH damage to rice. As single-gene resistance is easily lost due to the evolution of new …
