Rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity is affected by several biotic and abiotic stresses. The
genetic variability for some of these stresses is limited in the cultivated rice germplasm …

Plants and animals sense conserved microbial signatures through receptors localized to the
plasma membrane and cytoplasm. These receptors typically carry or associate with non …

Nearly isogenic lines (NILs) of rice (Oryza sativa) differing at a locus conferring resistance to
the pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae were surveyed with 123 DNA markers and …

In 1977, Dr. S. Devadath, Plant Pathologist, Central Rice Research Institute (CRRI) Cuttack,
informed the senior author that a strain of Oryza barthii from Mali being maintained at CRRI …

The cloned rice gene, Xa21, confers resistance to multiple pathogen isolates of
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in transgenic plants. The resistance phenotype was stably …

Advances in studies of rice innate immunity have led to the identification and
