Abstract/Summary:
The green leafhopper (GLH) or Nephotettix virescens (Distant) vectors rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV) and rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) to cause tungro disease in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Results of this study demonstrated that a gene(s) conferring resistance to GLH and RTSV is located towards the end of chromosome 4. Genetic analysis of 240 F...
