Abstract
Bacterial leaf blight disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo) is one of the important bacterial diseases, which is very destructive to rice plant. In this study, seventy isolates of Xoo were collected from several regions in West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta and East Java provinces and ten isolates from ICABIOGRAD collection. The aim of the study was to survey variation and distribution of the pathogen and to study the interactions between the isolates and near isogenic lines carrying specific genes for bacterial leaf blight resistance. Twenty Xoo isolates were randomly chosen to assess the differential characteristics of ten near-isogenic rice lines in Indonesia. The results showed that xa5 resistant gene was the highest effective against the majority of Xoo isolate, followed by Xa21, and Xa7 combined with Xa4 as the background. These findings are useful for rice breeding programs in designing stable broad-spectrum bacterial blight resistant rice cultivars. Key words: Xanthomonas oryzae, resistant gene, Near isogenic line, Java
