Tungro resistance in rice

...has broken down.

  1. Young scientists blog for GRiSP. Great idea from @RiceResearch http://irri.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=12368%3Ayoung-scientists-to-blog-for-grisp
  2. Awesome! This year, after 50 years.. IRRI made its 100,000th "cross" - at the heart of our rice variety development work #grisp2012
  3. IR64 was Tungro resistant when released, due to GLH resistance, has broken down. -IR Choi #plantdisease #rice
  4. MT @adamhsparks: IR64 was Tungro resistant when released ... has broken down < so is it still IR64?
  5. @AgroBioDiverse yes, the GLH overcame the resistance, so still IR64. We refer to HPR being broken, but the mechanism still exists in plant.
  6. RT @adamhsparks: Pest is changed, not plant! Thanks for clarification.
