TITLE：The "arms race" battles in the Xanthomonas oryzae-rice pathosystems

ABSTRACT：

  Bacterial blight and bacterial leaf streak, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae, are devastating diseases to agricultural production and serve as model systems in plant pathology research. This presentation will focus on the distribution and impact of these diseases, the characteristics of the virulence factors of Xanthomonas oryzae, and the types of resistance and susceptibility genes cloned in rice. The report will elucidate the mechanisms by which the pathogen overcomes rice resistance genes through interactions between pathogen effectors and host genes, and discuss strategies for breeding rice with broad-spectrum and durable resistance
