A Structurally Dynamic Chromosome 11 Locus from Oryza rufipogon Confers Recessive Resistance to Bacterial Blight in Rice

Bacterial blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo ), poses a major threat to global rice production as rapidly evolving pathogen populations overcome existing resistance genes. In this study, we characterized genetic resistance in the Oryza rufipogon accession...
