Now, researchers from ICAR-National Rice Research Institute (NRRI), Odisha have mapped out the diverse genes in rice that help in disease resistance. By characterising over 150 rice varieties from nine States across the country they also identified new markers associated with blast resistance. Blast endemics From 1980-1987, seven bla Summary
