Phylogenetic analysis, molecular characterization and virulence profiling based on toxoflavin gene of an Indian BG1 strain of causing panicle blight of rice.

Unlabelled: Bacterial panicle blight (BPB) caused by (BG) has become significantly more prevalent in the rice-growing regions of North India. Based on virulence screening and in vitro quantification of toxoflavin, the BG strains were classified as hyper- (BG1 and BG3), moderate- (BG2, BG4, BG6, BG8, and BG9), and hypo- (BG5, BG7, and BG10) virulent. Plant inoculation assays with cell-free culture filtrate revealed strains with higher toxoflavin-producing ability had higher virulence.

Complete genome resource unravels the close relation of an Indian pv. strain IXOBB0003 with Philippines strain causing bacterial blight of rice.

Unlabelled: pv. (Xoo) is a pathogen of concern for rice growers as it limits the production potential of rice varieties worldwide. Due to their high genomic plasticity, the pathogen continues to evolve, nullifying the deployed resistance mechanisms.

Rice transcriptome upon infection with pv. relative to its avirulent T3SS-defective strain exposed modulation of many stress responsive genes.

Unlabelled: pv. (Xoo) is a destructive pathogen that causes bacterial blight disease of rice worldwide. Xoo uses T3SS (type III secretion system) effectors to subvert rice innate immunity.
