Genetic Diversity of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Strains from China, Japan and Philippines

Abstract:

The IS-PCR and Rep-PCR were used to analyze 19 strains of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae from China,Japan and Philippines. Four specific primers, especially, IS1113 and ERIC could distinguish the strains from different countries. Using UPGMA analysis, most strains were in group 2 and 3. No relationship were observed between UPGMA groups and pathotypes.
