Abstract
Rice is susceptible to a range of diseases that cause significant yield losses worldwide. Genetic diversity plays a crucial role in enhancing disease resistance. This study employs molecular markers to assess the genetic diversity of rice accessions for resistance to major diseases such as bacterial blight, rice blast, and sheath blight. A total of 150 rice genotypes were screened using SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) markers, revealing a high level of polymorphism among the tested accessions. The study identified several genotypes with strong resistance traits, which can be utilized in marker-assisted selection (MAS) for developing new rice varieties with improved disease resistance. This work contributes to the ongoing efforts to improve rice sustainability through genetic enhancement.
