Slowing virulence adaptation in Asian rice planthoppers through migration-based deployment of resistance genes
Resumen
Advances in molecular biology have accelerated rice breeding for resistance to Asian planthoppers. However, experience shows that planthoppers quickly adapt to resistance in tropical overwintering areas. With only limited sources available, the large-scale deployment of resistance genes can rapidly reduce the utility of these public goods. Planthoppers that migrate from tropical to temperate Asia carry virulence against many resistance genes, but adapt more slowly to resistant rice in temperate regions. Therefore, by restricting deployment of selected genes to temperate regions, virulence-adaptation rates and the volume of migrants returning to overwintering sites could be reduced. The current open exchange of breeding materials throughout Asia urgently requires an international, multidisciplinary, stakeholder coalition to promote a more sustainable deployment of planthopper-resistant rice.
