Professor Miin-Huey Lee and her team established a rapid, high-throughput screening system for identifying rice lines resistant to Pythium. Using a seedling-stage inoculation platform, they were able to screen resistant lines within 14 days. Nearly 500 Taiwan Rice Insertional Mutant (TRIM) lines were evaluated, leading to the identification of one resistant TRIM line. The study was published in Plant Disease (Syu et al., 2024).
