Marker-assisted introgression of three dominant blast resistance genes into an aromatic rice cultivar Mushk Budji.

| Abstract |
Modern high yielding rice varieties have replaced most of the traditional cultivars in recent past. Mushk Budji, is one such short grained landrace known for its aroma and exquisite quality, however, is highly susceptible to blast disease that has led to considerable decline in its area. Mushk Budji was crossed to a triple-gene donor line, DHMAS 70Q 164-1b and followed through marker-assisted foreground and background selection in first and second backcross generations that helped to incorporate blast resistance genes Pi54, Pi1 and Pita. Marker-assisted background selection was carried out using 78 SSR and STS markers that helped to reduce linkage drag around the genes Pi54, Pi1 and Pita to 2.74, 4.60 and 2.03 Mb, respectively. The three-gene lines in BC2F2:3 were genotyped using 50 K SNP chip and revealed more than 92% genome similarity to the RP. 2-D gel assay detected differentially expressing 171 protein spots among a set of backcross derived lines, of which 38 spots showing match score of 4 helped us to calculate the proteome recovery. MALDI-TOF analysis helped to detect four significant proteins that were linked to quality and disease resistance. The improved lines expressed resistance to blast under artificial and natural field conditions.
