Abstract

Twenty three rice accessions with varying levels of tolerance to leaf folder and stem borer revealed multiple alleles for the SSR marker, RM226 flanking AT-repeat motif in oryzacystatin. The most frequent allele (no. 8) cloned and sequenced from BPT 5204 was shorter than that of Nipponbare by (AT)12. No significant association was found between any allelic variant and tolerance to rice leaf folder and stem borer.
