Rice bacterial blight resistance in Burkina Faso through genome editing: Evaluating pathogen and agro-morphological compatibility of genome-edited elite rice varieties
2026-06-26
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial leaf blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), causes yield losses exceeding 50% in affected areas, including the Bagré rice plain in Burkina Faso. Genome-edited (GE’d) rice lines have been successful in tackling BB. Modifications in the Xoo virulence protein target site upstream of three SWEET susceptibility genes in two elite rice varieties, IR64 and Ciherang-Sub1, have been demons...
