Abstract:
A method for identifying a rice genomic region of the rice blast resistance gene Pi-ta or Pi-ta.sup.2, which comprises:digesting rice genomic DNA with enzymes selected from the group consisting of Bgl, EcV and Hin, to obtain rice genomic DNA fragments,hybridizing the rice genomic DNA fragments with RFLP probes selected from the group consisting of XNpb289, XNpb196, XNpb319, XNpb239-1, XNpb154, XNpb88, XNpb261, RUBss and XNpb316,identifying the rice genomic DNA fragments on which the RFLP probes hybridize as nucleic acid markers for the rice genomic region of the rice blast resistance gene Pi-ta or Pi-ta.sup.2, andidentifying the rice genomic region of the rice blast resistance gene Pi-ta or Pi-ta.sup.2 with the nucleic acid markers.
