Disease resistance is a valuable trait that rice breeders utilize at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) toward selection of preliminary and advanced breeding lines, as well as, in development of new rice varieties. Assessment of rice diseases under field and greenhouse environments is provided by the RREC rice breeding and pathology technical support group. Evaluation for disease resistance starts from early generation lines up to the release of rice varieties. Breeding materials are evaluated for sheath blight under field conditions at RREC with artificial inoculum. Assessment for neck blast is conducted in the field at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Pine Tree Research Station (PTRS), while leaf blast testing is conducted in the greenhouse at RREC. Large amounts of inoculum for tested pathogens are prepared in the lab using various protocols and applied to plants using dispersal methods that have explicit protocols. Data generated from screening helps to select lines that are used either to transfer genes for resistance into adapted and high-yielding varieties or to advance entries for further agronomic testing. The breeding and pathology technical support group also assists the extension rice pathology projects in conducting applied research. Various pathogens are also grown for field inoculum to further understand and better manage major prevailing and recently emerging diseases. These endeavors have included collaborative interdepartmental, industry, and multi-state research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Obtaining disease resistance data is necessary for preliminary and advanced breeding lines and newly developed rice varieties. Disease resistance is a valuable characteristic that rice breeders place a tremendous effort towards at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) near Stuttgart, Ark. Assessment of rice diseases under field and greenhouse environments is provided by the RREC rice breeding and pathology technical support group. Evaluation for disease resistance starts from early generation lines up to the release of rice varieties. Breeding materials are evaluated using artificial inoculation for sheath blight at the RREC. Assessment for neck blast is conducted at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Pine Tree Research Station (PTRS) near Colt, Ark., while leaf blast testing is conducted in the greenhouse at RREC. Large amounts of inoculum for tested pathogens are prepared in the lab using various dispersal methods that have explicit protocols. Data generated from screening helps in the selection of lines that are used either to transfer genes for resistance into adapted and high-yielding varieties or to advance entries for further agronomic testing. The breeding and pathology technical support group also assists extension plant pathology programs with applied research. Various pathogens are also grown for field inoculum to further understand and better manage major prevailing and recently emerging diseases.

DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations has partnered with ITC to launch the All Women's Namo Drone Didi Batch, a program that provides drone pilot training to women from Self Help Groups in Maharashtra, India. The 5-day program, led by experienced female trainers, offers participants a 10-year drone flying license and covers drone fundamentals, DGCA Regulations, and practical flying skills. This initiative aims to promote gender inclusivity and societal upliftment by creating opportunities for women in the drone industry. [Extracted from the article]

Disease resistance in rice is one of many goals rice breeders and pathologists work on at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) near Stuttgart, Arkansas. The breeding and pathology support group evaluates preliminary and advanced breeding lines against major diseases of economic importance in both the greenhouse and field. At RREC, preliminary and advanced breeding materials are evaluated using artificial inoculation for sheath blight in the field and blast diseases in the greenhouse. Advanced breeding materials are tested in the field for blast resistance with artificial inoculation at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Pine Tree Research Station (PTRS) near Colt, Arkansas. Large amounts of disease inocula are prepared in the laboratory and applied to rice plants following specific protocols. The rice breeders utilize these data to make selections. The breeding program advanced yield plots are also evaluated in the field for diseases including the rice blast, sheath blight, bacterial panicle blight, kernel smut and false smut. Selected lines are used either to transfer genes for resistance into adapted and high yielding varieties or to advance entries for further agronomic testing. The evaluation of preliminary breeding materials helps breeders eliminate extremely susceptible materials, thus saving time and resources. The breeding and pathology technical support group is fully involved in extension plant pathology programs with applied research on bacterial panicle blight, including collaborative interdepartmental, industry, and multi-state research endeavors.

Development of disease resistant rice is one of many goals rice breeders work on at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) near Stuttgart, Arkansas The center's plant pathology group assists by screening preliminary to advance breeding entries for disease reaction under greenhouse and field conditions. Breeding materials are evaluated after using artificial inoculum for sheath blight at the RREC and blast disease at the RREC and the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture's Pine Tree Research Station (PTRS) near Colt, Arkansas. Both sheath blight and blast inocula are produced in the laboratory and applied to plants using specific protocols for each disease. Sheath blight is screened under field conditions, but blast screening utilizes both greenhouse and field environments. The major objectives of this technical support are to provide data that not only helps breeders remove the most susceptible lines early in their program, but also to support advancement of lines or transfer of genes for resistance into adapted and high yielding varieties. The breeding and pathology technical support group assists extension plant pathology programs with applied research to manage diseases that prevail in rice fields, as well as, collaborative interdepartmental, industry, and multi-state research endeavors.
