Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae , is one of the most serious threats to global rice production, highlighting the need for effective resistance breeding. This study demonstrates the utility of molecular markers in detecting key blast resistance genes in 259 Korean rice cultivars ( japonica group). Among the identified genes, Piz-t/Piz-5 and the Pita + Pita-2 combination emerged as the most significant contributors to b...

We provide a broad view of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) precipitation and their changes in the 21st century under the representative concentration pathway RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios using a high‐resolution (at 40 km) atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM). The simulated fields are validated against the multiple observational data sets in the reference period (1979–2008). Validation of seasonal simulated global clima...
