英文摘要：

Improving the disease resistance of rice is a major objective in rice breeding programs, which provides a basic guarantee for the good quality and high yield in rice. Recently, substantial progresses on the research of rice disease resistant mechanism had been made. Some important genes had been identified and cloned. The recent achievements in identification, cloning, and biological function analyses of these genes were summarized and their potential application in breeding was also discussed.
