| Abstract |
Rice is the staple food crop of more than 60% of the population of the world. This crop suffers from blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae. Information on the mating-type allele distribution and diversity of the pathogen population for the state of Karnataka, India is scanty. With this background, a total of 72 isolates of M. oryzae from rice in different districts of Karnataka were examined for identifying sexual mating alleles MAT1, MAT2 and understanding the genetic diversity based on DNA fingerprint of pot2, an inverted repeat transposon. Among 72 isolates, 44 isolates belonged to MAT1 type (male fertile) and 28 isolates were of MAT2 (female fertile) and there were no hermaphrodite isolates. In a given geographical location, only one mating type was identified. Results revealed that the isolates obtained from these regions are not sexually fertile showing predominant asexual reproduction. Hence, genetic variation observed in the pathogen may be mainly because of high copy number of transposons. A high copy number transposon, namely Pot2, was selected in our study to detect genetic diversity of the pathogen. Pot2 rep-PCR DNA fingerprinting profile showed 27 polymorphic bands with bands ranging in size from 0.65 to 4.0 kb and an average of 10 to 14 bands per isolate. Five distinct clusters were formed with two major, two minor, and one outlier. Clusters 4 and 5 are further subdivided into three sub-clusters. Some of the isolates belonging to clusters 3, 4, and 5 are interlinked as these locations are close to one another sharing common geographical parameters and boundaries. This knowledge on the sexual behavior and genetic diversity of M. oryzae is important with respect to breeding for disease resistance. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 July 2018.
All research outputs
#18,641,800
of 23,094,276 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Applied Genetics
#246
of 395 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,191
of 327,912 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Applied Genetics
#3
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,094,276 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 395 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,912 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
