Dual gene expression cassette is superior than single gene cassette for enhancing sheath blight tolerance in transgenic rice
Abstract Sheath blight, caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani, is a serious and destructive disease of the rice. In order to improve sheath blight resistance, we developed three different kinds of transgenic rice lines. The first transgenic line overexpresses the rice chitina...
