Location: Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center
Project Number: 6028-21000-012-010-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jun 1, 2023
End Date: May 31, 2024
Objective:
To investigate distribution, relatedness and pathogenicity of Pantoea in rice, corn, peanut in Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Approach:
The collaborator at Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center, Beaumont, Texas, will conduct disease surveys for Pantoea in rice across the Texas Rice Belt and screening for resistant germplasm. This will involve identifying rice genotypes including new varieties and elite breeding lines that are resistant to Pantoea and evaluating their potential for use in rice breeding programs.
