Prospects for resistance genes against bacterial blight of rice and their mechanism of disease resistance

Minghui Li, Wang Guixue, Fenghua Wang, Wenxue Zhai, Bing Yang

Abstract

The bacterial blight of rice is caused by the phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). The disease limits the rice yield worldwide. As many as 26 resistant (R) genes have been identified with only a few cloned and characterized. This review discusses the various bacterial blight resistance genes which are identified and their uses in marker assisted selection in rice breeding.
