Population genomics and pathotypic evaluation of the bacterial leaf blight pathogen of rice reveals rapid evolutionary dynamics of a plant pathogen
2019-07-30
Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo ) causes bacterial blight disease, which reduces crop yield by up to 50% in rice production. Despite its substantial threat on food production worldwide, knowledge about its population structure, virulence diversity and the relationship between them is limited. We used whole-genome sequencing to explore the diversity and evolution of Xoo during the past 30 years in the main r...
