Study for genome-assisted Magnaporthe genetics
In this study, we attempted to rapidly identify the genomic regions controlling various fungal traits in Magnaporthe oryzae. Two Magnaporthe oryzae isolates O23 and TH3o were crossed to produce F1 progeny. The parental strains O23 and TH3o and their F1 progeny were sequenced and statistically analyzed for phenotypic and marker associations.
