Studies were undertaken to evaluate the rice genotypes of Sikkim and Tripura for their resistance against brown planthopper (BPH) under glasshouse conditions. Among 74 rice genotypes phenotyped, a genotype (AC-39843) was considered as resistant and two other genotype (AC-39842 and AC-39877) of Tripura were categorized as moderately resistant to BPH. To understand their mechanism of resistance, resistant genotypes were evaluated for different parameter of antixenosis and antibiosis. The antixenosis and antibiosis studies in terms of nymphal setting preference, per cent unhatchability of eggs, nymphal survival and development, honeydew excretion, probing mark test, plant dry weight loss and defence enzymes (Peroxidase, polyphenol oxidaseand catalase) indicated that these genotypes showed confirmation of resistance to BPH compared to susceptible check TN 1. Among resistant genotypes, AC-39843 recorded lowest sugar content followed by AC-39842 and AC-39877 compared to TN1. Total phenol content in AC-39843 was highest followed by AC-39877 and AC-39842. Resistant genotypes found in the study could be used as new resistant donors and utilized in resistance breeding programme against brown planthopper in rice.
