Item Inheritance of resistance to bacterial blight and implication for rice improvement in Uganda(RUFORUM, 2010) Habarurema, I.; Asea, G.; Lamo, J.; Gibson, P.; Edema, R.Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae, is a destructive disease of rice worldwide. Resistant varieties are the best option to avert the disease. Thirty resistance genes identified face a wide genetic diversity exhibited by the pathogen. Information on local isolates is not available and genetic mechanism for resistance harbored in Ugandan germplasm is unknown. Experimental sites were Makerere University and NaCRRI. Differential cultivars from Africa Rice were used to group Ugandan isolates. Seven parents were crossed into a half diallel to produce F1 and F2 progenies for determining the inheritance of resistance through inoculation. Preliminary results are reported.
