Rice resistance (R) genes have been effectively deployed to prevent blast disease caused by the fungal pathogenMagnaporthe oryzae, one of the most serious threats for stable rice production worldwide. Weedy rice competing with cultivated rice may carry novel or lostRgenes. The quantitative trait locusqBR12.3bwas previously mapped between two single nucleotide polymorphism markers at the 10,633,942-bp and 10,820,033-bp genomic positions in a black-hull-awned (BHA) weed strain using a weed-crop-mapping population under greenhouse conditions. In this study, we found a portion of the known resistance genePtrencoding a protein with four armadillo repeats and confers a broad spectrum of blast resistance. We then analyzed the sequences of thePtrgene from weedy rice,PtrBHA, and identified a unique amino acid glutamine at protein position 874. Minor changes of protein conformation of thePtrBHAgene were predicted through structural analysis ofPtrBHA, suggesting that the product ofPtrBHAis involved in disease resistance. A gene-specific codominant marker HJ17-13 fromPtrBHAwas then developed to distinguish alleles in weeds and crops. ThePtrBHAgene existed in 207 individuals of the same mapping population, whereqBR12.3bwas mapped using this gene-specific marker. Disease reactions of 207 individuals and their parents to IB-33 were evaluated. The resistant individuals hadPtrBHAwhereas the susceptible individuals did not, suggesting that HJ17-13 is reliable to predictqBR12.3b. Taken together, this newly developed marker, and weedy rice genotypes carryingqBR12.3b, are useful for blast improvement using marker assisted selection.
