Additional file 2 of Identification of an Elite Core Panel as a Key Breeding Resource to Accelerate the Rate of Genetic Improvement for Irrigated Rice

Additional file 2: Fig. S1. Evolution of equivalent complete generation (EqG) of parental lines used between 1985 and 2014 for IRRI’s breeding program for irrigated systems. Fig. S2. Distribution of the infection score (0 = highly resistant to 5 = hihgly susceptible) for five isolates of blast (Magnaporthe oryzae). The elite core panel (ECP) lines are in grey, the susceptible checks (Lijiangxintuanheigu and CO 39) are in orange and the resistant checks (IRBLta2-Pi, IRBLSH-B, IRBLkm-Ts and IRBLKh-K3) in green. Fig. S3. Scatter plots and rank correlations between blast isolates using infection scores. Fig. S4. Distribution of the lesion length of elite core panel (ECP) lines after controlled inoculation with Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae. Fourteen different isolates were used to assess the level of resistance of the ECP lines. The ECP is in grey, the susceptible check (IR 24) is in orange and the resistant checks (IRBB23, IRBB60 and IRBB62) in green. Fig. S5. Scatter plots and rank correlations between bacterial leaf blight isolates using the average lesion length for each genotype. Fig. S6. Correlation matrix for grain yield (A) and time to flowering (B) for all the environments where the ICP lines have been evaluated.
