Unveiling a Novel Source of Resistance to Bacterial Blight in Medicinal Wild Rice, Oryza officinalis.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is among the oldest known bacterial diseases found for rice in Asia. It is the most serious bacterial disease in many rice growing regions of the world. A total of 47 resistance (R) genes (Xa1 to Xa47) have been identified. Nonetheless, these R genes could possibly be defeated to lose their qualitative nature and express intermediate phenotypes. The identification of sources of novel genetic loci regulating host plant resistance is crucial to develop an efficient control strategy. Wild ancestors of cultivated rice are a natural genetic resource contain a large number of excellent genes. Medicinal wild rice (Oryza officinalis) belongs to the CC genome and is a well-known wild rice i
