Breeding of japonica rice varieties with high yield and quality

Breeding of japonica rice varieties with high yield and quality and resistance to Stripe Virus Disease (The First Prize of National Science and Technology Progress in 2012): a scale technology system for identification of rice stripe disease resistance has been established for the first time; rice stripe disease resistance genes/QTL have been discovered and marked and the molecular marker pyramid breeding technology system has been created; new rice varieties have been selected and bred, which are featured by rice stripe disease resistance, high yield and high quality and rapid application of which has been realized in southern japonica rice areas.
