摘要
The fast-and ever-growing human population and rapid climate change are threatening the global food security.As a staple food crop,rice(Oryza sativa)feeds nearly half of the world's population.However,bacterial blight(BB),the most devastating bacterial disease of rice(Mew et al.,1993),caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae(Xoo),affects millions of hectares of cultivated rice plants annually,with an estimated crop loss of as high as 75%.
