Abstract
Rice cultivation has been introduced in high elevation swamps of Burundi in 1980. Six years after, the released cultivar, Yannann3, was severely attacked by Magnaporthe grisea, the rice blast pathogen. In order to identify resistant genotypes, race diversity encountered in this new rice growing area was studied.The results discussed in this paper have been obtained by inoculating 25 isolates of M. grisea on 27 rice cultivars including 13 Japanese differentials. All the known resistance genes are broken down by Burundian isolates except Pi-ta2. A high diversity is thus established.
