First sentence: To develop rice cultivais with durable resistance to blast, the following breeding strategies have been proposed: accumulation of minor genes (field, partial or quantitative resistance), pyramiding of major genes (true, complete or qualitative resistance), and a combination of major and minor genes, multilines of major genes, etc.
