Abstract
AbstractBacterial blight (BB) of rice caused byXanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzae(Xoo) is a major biotic constraint of rice production in all the major irrigated/lowland rice growing regions of Asia, including Punjab and its adjoining states in India. None of the individual BB resistantXa/xagenes is effective against Punjab pathotypes. In the present study, we have screened 1176 accessions, comprising 1007 accessions of A genome speciesOryza glaberrima, O. barthii, O. nivara, O. rufipogon, O. longistaminata, O. meridionalis, O. glumaepatulaand 169 accessions from ten other wild species having CC, FF, EE, BBCC and CCDD genomes against two most recently evolvedXoopathotypes viz. PbXo-10 and PbXo-8 in Punjab state of India, for two constitutive years 2014 and 2015. Based on 2 years of data, four accessions ofO. glaberrima(IRGC102206, IRGC1022445, IRGC102512 and IRGC102520) and two of theO. longistaminataaccessions (IRGC92624 and IRGC101754) were identified with immune reaction against PbXo-8. For PbXo-10,O. longistaminatashowed large number of accessions with complete to partial resistance followed byO. rufipogon(8),O. nivara(2),O. punctata(2) andO. officinalis(1). Two of theO. longistaminataaccessions IRGC92624 and IRGC92644 from Mali were found to have resistance against both theXoopathotypes indicating presence of BB resistance gene other thanXa21. These can be transferred to elite cultivars ofO. sativafor better management of BB.
