Abstract
Blast is the most devastating disease of rice worldwide. The use of resistance genes is the most effective measure to control the disease. Better understanding of the mechanisms of pathogen infection and plant resistance is important for developing blast resistant cultivars. This chapter reviews the gene-for-gene interactions mediated by pathogen avirulence (AVR) genes and plant resistance (R) genes and shares our experiences of whole genome sequencing (WGS)-based approaches to isolate blast AVR genes and rice R-genes. The chapter also provides a brief summary of current knowledge on interactions of the proteins coded by the isolated blast AVR genes and rice R-genes.
