Abstract
Resistance to brown planthopper in rice cultivar ARC 10550 was found to be governed by a single recessive gene which was designatedbph 5. It conveys resistance to brown planthopper populations in South Asia but not to the populations in East and Southeast Asia. This gene segregated independently of four other known genes for brown planthopper resistance. It should be possible to combine this gene with any of the other four genes to develop rice cultivars with a broad spectrum of resistance.
