Description
Weifang Liang and thirteen co-authors sequence three newly dominant strains of the bacterium behind rice bacterial blight in Zhejiang, China, in this 2024 study. The pathogen, Xanthomonas oryzae pathovar oryzae, eats harvests worldwide. In 2019 the disease flared worst around Shaoxing, Quzhou, and Taizhou, and isolates from those cities became the subjects.
All three proved to be novel strains, and all out-damaged Zhe173, the province's previous epidemic strain, in virulence tests. Genome comparisons found the sharpest differences exactly where breeders would fear: in effector genes, the bacterial keys that rice resistance genes are bred to recognize. Four such genes, AvrXa5, AvrXa7, AvrXa10, and AvrXa23, differed prominently in sequence. One Quzhou strain alone seemed to carry AvrXa3. A family tree of 61 strains placed the newcomers in context. The message for breeders is blunt: deployed resistance may already be mismatched.
