Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae), is the most important disease affecting rice production in the first cropping season in Taiwan. In severe cases, it can result in substantial yield losses and threaten food security. Cultivating resistant varieties is an effective, economical, and environmentally friendly control strategy. However, the rapid evolution of the P. oryzae population often leads to the breakdown of resistance in varieties carrying a single resistance gene, losing their resistance after several years of widespread cultivation. Therefore, continuous monitoring of resistance genes and developing a cultivation system that helps maintain stable field resistance are essential. From 2021 to 2024, this study investigated leaf and panicle blast resistance in Kaohsiung No. 145 monogenic lines carrying blast resistance genes Pi2, Pi9, Pik, Pik-h, Pi1, Pi7, Ptr (=Pita-2), and Pi20 in paddy blast nurseries located in Chiayi and Taitung. The results indicated that Pi2, Pi9, and Ptr exhibited the highest resistance, followed by Pi20 and Pik-h. Pi1, while Pi7 and Pik showed lower resistance. The overall trends were consistent with observations from previous years. Three monogenic lines with good blast resistance and agronomic traits, i.e. NTU-KH1 (Pi9), KHY5496 (Pik-h), and KHY5491 (Ptr), were selected for 1:1:1 mix-cultivation trials conducted in Daliao and Meinong, Kaohsiung in 2021, Guanshan, Taitung in 2022, and Changzhi, Pingtung in 2023. The multiline plots were uniform, with strong resistance against both leaf and panicle blast. Yield and grain quality evaluations in 2021 and 2023 showed that the productions from the multiline were generally similar to Kaohsiung No. 145. In 2023, when rice blast was more serious, the yield, total milled rice percentage, amylose content of milled rice (%), and palatability score from the multiline were significantly higher than those of Kaohsiung No. 145. In 2022, molecular marker analysis targeting Pi9, Pik-h, and Ptr was performed on leaf samples collected from the multiline plot. Susceptible blast lesions were observed from 23% of the Pik-h-containing leaves, indicating the presence of Pik-h-virulent P. oryzae isolates in the field. This study preliminarily confirms the potential of Kaohsiung No. 145 monogenic lines for multiline cultivation. Future efforts will focus on the long-term monitoring of the monogenic lines to establish a robust foundation for resistance breeding and varietal rotation strategies. |
