Host-Pathogen Interaction in Rice-Bacterial Blight Pathosystem

Study of Biochemical and Molecular Changes of Iranian Rice Cultivars in Interaction with Bacterial Pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Causes Leaf Blight Disease

Rice bacterial blight caused by Xanthamonos oryzae pv. oryzae is one of the most destructive bacterial diseases of rice in some areas of rice cultivation in the world, especially in the tropics of Asia. The low efficiency of disease management methods, especially chemical methods, has led to more research on recognizing resistant cultivars and understanding resistance mechanisms through the stu...

Chromatin Remodelling During Host-Bacterial Pathogen Interaction

Host and pathogen factors controlling the rice-Xanthomonas oryzae interaction.

Rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation represents a world laboratory for investigation into bacterial diseases of rice, in particular, and host-parasite interactions, in general, at the molecular, genetic, and genomic levels. The crop, in its various forms, has been under intense cultivation for more than 6,000 years, resulting in the selection of a wide variety of traits and germplasm (Khush, 1997). ...

Relationship between Phylogeny and Pathotype for the Bacterial Blight Pathogen of Rice.

Several transposable elements were isolated from the genome of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. These elements and an avirulence gene isolated from X. oryzae pv. oryzae were used as hybridization probes for a collection of X. oryzae pv. oryzae strains from the Philippines. Each of the sequences was present in multiple copies in all strains examined and showed distinct patterns of hybridizing band...

Genome Sequence of Burkholderia plantarii ZJ171, a Tropolone-Producing Bacterial Pathogen Responsible for Rice Seedling Blight

Burkholderia plantarii is the causal agent of rice seedling blight. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. plantarii, which contains 8,020,831 bp, with a G+C content of 68.66% and a predicted 7,688 coding sequences. The annotated genome sequence will provide further insight into its pathogenicity.
