Rice varieties/lines and BPH insects
Indica rice lines RBPH16 and RBPH327 are introgressed lines,
derived from ruffipogon , which showed high levels of resistance
against BPH insects (Li et al . 2019; Yang et al . 2020).Indica rice varieties ARC5984 and PTB33 have also been found to
be highly resistant to BPH (Lin et al ., 2020; Cheng et
al ., 2021). Indica line 9311 and Japonica rice varieties
NIP, ZH11, and BaiMao were highly susceptible to BPH. BPH insects were
collected from rice fields in Nanning of Guangxi Province, China, and
were reared on 9311 in growth chambers at 27±2 °C, 75±5% relative
humidity, and a light/dark photoperiod of 14:10 h.
