Rice (Oryza sativa) is a crucial staple crop for global food security, particularly in Asia. However, rice production faces significant challenges from various diseases that can cause substantial yield losses. This review explores the role of genetic resistance disease management, focusing on molecular mechanisms underlying plant–pathogen interactions and strategies developing resistant varieties. The paper discusses qualitative quantitative resistance, emphasizing importance (R) genes, defense-regulator trait loci (QTLs) conferring broad-spectrum resistance. Gene-for-gene relationships rice–pathogen are examined, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Magnaporthe oryzae. also covers recent advancements breeding techniques, including marker-assisted selection, engineering, genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas. These approaches offer promising avenues enhancing while maintaining potential. Understanding exploiting durable disease-resistant varieties, essential ensuring sustainable security face evolving pathogen threats changing environmental conditions.
