Abstract excerpt
Bacterial leaf blight (BLB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo), is a major constraint to rice productivity worldwide. This study investigated cuticular wax as a physical and biochemical barrier associated with BLB resistance using eight contrasting genotypes (two each from the resistant, moderately resistant, susceptible, and highly susceptible groups). The resistant genotypes showed higher wax content...
