Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop in the world and a model cereal species for molecular researches. Rice is the staple food in many parts of the world, including many developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Through genetic studies, eight major genes conferring resistance to WBPH in rice germplasm Wbph 1 to Wbph 8 have been reported. Among these, wbph 4 is recessive, whereas, the other seven are dominant genes. Besides major genes, QTLs have been reported for WBPH resistance
