Abstract
Rice blast is a fungal disease that is known to severely affect rice production worldwide. It is caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae). One of the most economical and effective methods to control this disease involves breeding and cultivate of resistant rice varieties. In the recent years, remarkable progress has been made in this field and significant knowledge has been attained regarding rice blast resistance genes. The present study provides an overview of the studies that focused on mapping, cloning, and functional assessment of rice blast resistance genes and their application in molecular breeding. Additionally, the present review discusses the current limitations and future prospects for developing improved rice blast resistant varieties. Altogether, the present study provides valuable and comprehensive insights into rice blast resistance breeding
