Whole genome reseqeuncing of F2 bulks from cross between SM and BB42
The rice mega variety Samba Mahsuri was crossed with the EMS-induced mutant line of SM, BB42. BB42 exhibited resistance to bacterial blight of rice. To map the allele responsible for BB resistance, SM and BB42 were crossed and the F2 plant DNA were bulked based on phenotypic segregation and sequenced. The reads, so obtained, were analyzed using the QTL-seq pipeline to identify the causal allele.
