The Pik m gene in rice confers a high and stable resistance to many isolates of Magnaporthe oryzae collected from southern China. This gene locus was roughly mapped to the long arm of rice chromosome 11 with restriction fragment length polymorphic (RFLP) markers in the previous study. To effectively...
