Pyramiding of two or more effective resistance genes / alleles into
elite rice lines enhances the durability and spectrum of resistance.
These donors are used in a crossing program to incorporate tolerance of high temperature into
elite rice lines that are then tested for heat tolerance in «hot and dry» and «hot and humid» countries.
