[0002] Rice is one of the world's most important food crops, with more than half of the world's population relying on it as a staple food. Rice blast is one of the most destructive diseases affecting rice production, exhibiting high diversity and characterized by its epidemic, sudden onset, and devastating effects, causing significant yield reductions annually. Practice has proven that breeding and planting disease-resistant varieties is the most effective, economical, and environmentally friendly measure for controlling rice blast. Because the physiological races of rice blast mutate rapidly, many new resistant varieties lose or even become resistant after a few years of widespread cultivation. Therefore, it is necessary to extensively collect various resistant germplasm resources and promptly replace and improve varieties adapted to local conditions to prevent outbreaks and epidemics of rice blast.

The strain to be preserved is then spotted onto the culture plate. The plate is incubated at 28℃ in an incubator with alternating light and dark cycles of 10 hours and 14 hours, inverted for 10 days. Once the colonies have covered the entire culture plate, the filter paper pieces are removed and placed in a high-temperature, high-pressure sterilized sulfuric acid paper bag.
