Six rice cultivars showing various types of resistance or susceptibility to Pyricularia oryzae in the field were compared under controlled environmental conditions. The resistance of the cultivars with adult‐plant resistance was race‐specificat early growth stage. On all cultivars tested, blast infection became increasingly reduced on either leaves of adult plants or older leaves, as observed in rice plants of different leaf stages infected with different individual races. Their increase inhost resistance was marked by an apparent transition in infection type and reduced blast severity depending on leaf age and developmental stage of plants. The ranking of disease severity of the adult‐plantresistant cultivars to different races was constant during plant development, whereas that of the susceptible cultivars was differential. It is suggested that different degrees of resistance in rice cultivars may exist in seedlings and be consistently maintained during plant development, probably becoming more distinct as rice plants mature.
