Abstract
Pongsu Seribu 2 (PS2) is a land race traditional rice variety grown in Malaysia having broad spectrum resistance to blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae. The information on genetic basis of blast resistance in this cultivar is still lacking. In order to ensure the resistance of Pongsu Seribu 2, virulent pathotype of M. oryzae P7.2 was inoculated on Pongsu Seribu 2 and MR219 (susceptible used as control) where Pongsu Seribu 2 was found strongly resistance and MR219 susceptible. To determine the mechanism of resistance in PS2 cultivar, cloning and characterization of major blast resistance genes, Pi-b and Pi-kh were carried out. Primers covering the Pi-b and Pi-kh nucleotide sequence available in NCBI database were designed that successfully amplified the PCR PCR product. The amplified product was ligated with PGEM-T easy vector and cloned the blast resistance genes fragment into competent cell. The results revealed that nucleotide sequence contain an open reading frame (ORF) and the same is also highly conserved in nature. Deduced amino acid sequence indicates that Pi-b contains zinc finger-containing protein domain and Pi-kh have Leucine rich repeat domain. The translated nucleotide sequence into amino acid produces significant homology average 76.8% with Pi-kh and 93.4% with Pi-b blast resistance genes present in different cultivars of rice. The amino acid sequence of both genes also showed homology with NBS-LRR (Nucleotide binding site-Leucine rich repeat), proteins and BAC clones covering the chromosome 2 and 12 of rice with different cultivars. This study indicates that Pongsu Seribu 2 contain at least two dominant genes, Pi-b and Pi-kh involved for providing resistance against M. oryzae pathotype P7.2.
