Global rice production is constrained by bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). BLB disease incidence in West Africa was between 70–85% and yield loss in farmers’ fields was in the range of 50–90% from 2005 to 2010. In the present study, African Xoo virulence gene OPP-172000 DNA marker was identified and purified using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) products from 50 Xoo isolates. Genomic DNA of 50 Xoo isolates were analyzed using OPP-17 primer in RAPD-PCR during which African Xoo virulence gene OPP-172000 DNA marker was identified, purified, cloned, and sequenced. Cloning and DNA sequencing of African Xoo virulence gene OPP-172000 DNA generated a 1953 bp nucleotide sequence consequently tagged as AXaVrg-1953. BLAST homologous analysis of the AXaVrg-1953 sequence provides comprehensive identification of the type II secretion genes and secreted proteins, type III secretion genes and secreted proteins in African Xoo virulence gene. Phylogenetic unweighted pairgroup method arithmetic (UPGMA) analysis revealed the African AXaVrg-1953 sequence was distinct from the other Xoo virulence gene sequences from China, Japan, Korea, Germany, and the United States. This information is potentially useful for effective management of BLB disease in West Africa.

Genetic analysis of resistance to rice bacterial blight in Uganda
Rice bacterial blight ( Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ) is a major
constraint to rice ( Oryza sativa L.) production in Uganda and as
part of strategies to develop resistant cultivars, it is important to
evaluate resistance of commonly used cultivars. A full-diallel mating
design involving three resistant and three susceptible rice cultivars
was used to produce F1 and F2 progenies in a screen-house at the
National Crop Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI), Namulonge in
Uganda. The parents and F2 populations were challenged with the 64
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae isolate (UX00) and lesion lengths were
scored 21 days after inoculation (DAI). Griffing\u2019s combining
ability analysis showed significant specific combining ability (SCA)
and non-significant general combining ability (GCA) effects, indicating
the preponderance of non-additive gene effects in controlling the
resistance to bacterial leaf blight (BLB) in rice. Rice genotypes,
NERICA14, NERICA10 and NERICA4 had desirable GCA estimates, and were,
therefore, the best general combiners. Crosses CO39 x NERICA10 and
NERICA14 x IRAT104 had favorable SCA values. These hybrids are thus,
promising in developing the BLB resistant progenies. Significant
reciprocal effects indicate the importance of maternal contribution in
controlling the BLB virulence. For this, resistant lines can be used as
female parents for fear of affecting transfer of resistance to the
progenies, and the hybrids and their reciprocals would be handled
separately. Low estimates of narrow sense coefficient of genetic
determination (NSCGD) (0.9%) and medium broad sense coefficient of
genetic determination (BSCGD) estimates (16.4%) highlight the influence
of non-additive gene action in controlling the resistance to BLB,
confirming an effective selection of superior genotypes at advanced
generations when the maximum homozygosity is fixed.Le fl\ue9trissement bact\ue9rien des feuilles du riz ( Xanthomonas

Molecular Characterization and DNA Fingerprinting of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Isolates from Climate Change Prone Areas in East Africa
Genomic DNA fingerprinting is a useful tool for effective and reliable identification and differentiation of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) pathogen from rice. The study aimed to conduct molecular characterization and DNA fingerprinting of 23 Xoo isolates from East Africa and two Xoo isolates from IRRI (Philippines) as control. PCR analysis was carryout on genomic DNA of 25 Xoo isolates using 6 Xoo specific primer pairs. Cluster analyses of genetic data obtained from 25 Xoo DNA fingerprints revealed two major genotypes (GrpA and GrpB) among the 25 Xoo isolates. GrpA has three subgroups (GrpA1; GrpA2; GrpA3) and GrpB (GrpB1; GrpB2; GrpB3). GrpA genotype consists of 20 Xoo isolates from Uganda, Rwanda and Philippines while GrpB genotype has 5 Xoo isolates from Rwanda. Some Xoo isolates were identical (PX-1, PX-2; UX621, RX2101; RX554, UX623, RX4113; UX211, UX213, UX214, RX4112, UX215). The emergence of subgroup genotypes could possibly be due to mutations and interactions among isolates and strains in host cells. Some Xoo isolates from Rwanda and Uganda were identical suggesting possible pathogen migration between these countries and long-term survival. Durable resistance rice cultivars would need to overcome both GrpA and GrpB Xoo genotypes in order to survive after their deployment into different rice ecologies in East Afric
