- Abstract
The article reports on molecular cloning and characterization of brown planthopper (BPH), a locus in rice. The researchers show that Bph3 is a cluster of three genes encoding plasma membrane-localized lectin receptor kinases. The results suggest that the lectin receptor kinase genes function together to confer broad-spectrum and durable insect resistance and provide a resource for molecular breeding of insect-resistant rice cultivars.
