The application discloses a method for
cloning an avirulence
gene from a small
chromosome of
Magnaporthe grisea, which comprises the following steps: (1) screening a strain carrying an avirulence
gene corresponding to an anti-rice blast
gene X; (2) performing
ultraviolet mutagenesis on the screened strain; (3) spraying the strain after
ultraviolet mutagenesis on a rice variety carrying the anti-rice blast gene X, and collecting the avirulence
gene mutant strain; (4) performing mixed
pool sequencing on the avirulence
gene mutant strain obtained in the step (3); and (5) locating the avirulence gene through association analysis. The application does not depend on the
fertility of the strain, sexual recombination and the genomic sequence polymorphism among different strains, and the
target gene can be located through the association analysis by obtaining the avirulence
gene mutant.
