Non-GE rice with bacterial leaf blight resistance genes developed
The farmers of the traditional Basmati growing areas of Haryana, Punjab, J&K, Delhi and Uttarakhand will get new rice variety having higher yield (37 q/ha) than Pusa Basmati 1. Pusa 1460 (IET 18990) is developed by pyramiding bacterial leaf blight (BLB) resistance genes (xa13 & Xa21) in the background of Pusa Basmati 1 through marker assisted backcross breeding.
