Rice varietal resistance to the vector Sogatella furcifera hinders transmission of Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus.

The results indicate that rice varietal resistance to the vector S. furcifera hinders SRBSDV transmission, which is largely associated with the host plant selection and feeding behaviors of the vector. The current findings shed light on the management of the SRBSDV viral disease through incorporation of S. furcifera resistant rice varieties in the management protocol.
