STUDIES ON THE INHERITANCE OF RESISTANCE TO RICE BLIGHT DISEASE
Abstract
More than 100 varieties of rice, including domestic and foreign varieties, were tested for resistance to disease. This year 100 different varieties were tested for disease resistance, including the disease resistance of various strains of rice. The different varieties of rice used in these tests included primarily the main disease resistant strains used for the breeding of disease resistant varieties by the Chinese Agricultural Experimental Station, some varieties possessed by the Agricultural Research Laboratory, and other varieties and strains received from the Fujisaka Testing Station and other organizations. Of these varieties, those received from the Chinese Agricultural Experimental Station were already known to be disease resistant, and therefore we conducted tests on these particular varieties with respect to their resistance to a wider range of pathogens. The strains of fungi used were the same as those used in the previous year, that is, a variety of fungi, which could be classified into seven strains.
