Comparative transcriptional profiling of rice undergoing infection by X. oryzae pv. oryzae or by X. oryzae pv. oryzicola

ABSTRACT: RESEARCH SUMMARY Bacterial blight and bacterial leaf streak, two of the most serious diseases of rice, are caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pathovar (pv.) oryzae (Xoo) and X. oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) respectively. Xoo is a vascular pathogen that invades the xylem, whereas Xoc is non-vascular and colonizes the mesophyll apoplast. These distinctive types of infection represent the two most common ways plant pathogenic bacteria produce disease. As closely related pathogens of a model plant host, Xoo and Xoc constitute a powerful comparative system. We hypothesize that tissue-specific susceptibility to pathogenic bacteria can be explained partially by differential host responses during infection. To establish the global structure of susceptible responses to infection by Xoo and Xoc, we used
