This invention provides a rice
gene Bph54 for resistance to
brown planthopper and its application. The rice provided by this invention... Bph54 Genes are of great significance for breeding new rice varieties resistant to brown planthoppers. This invention successfully cloned the rice Bph54
gene using map-based
cloning, and performed
functional annotation and identification. This
gene exhibits complete dominance, and both homozygous and heterozygous genotypes confer equal resistance to brown planthoppers in rice. This characteristic is beneficial for the application of this gene in breeding. Based on this, the Bph54 gene can be introduced into
brown planthopper-susceptible
plant varieties through traditional breeding techniques such as hybridization and
backcrossing, or through
genetic engineering, to cultivate new varieties of plants resistant to brown planthoppers with stable
genetic traits. This invention provides important
germplasm resources for effectively reducing
insect damage and achieving increased and stable
crop yields.
