Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the causal agent of bacterial blight in rice, interacts with rice plants in a gene-for-gene manner. The specificity of the interaction is dictated by avirulence (avr) genes in the pathogen and resistance (R) genes in the host. To date, no avr genes that correspond to recessive R genes have been isolated. We isolated an avrBs3/pthA family gene, avrxa5, from our previously isolated...
