Breeding advance could help protect East African rice harvests from bacterial blight
The rice disease bacterial leaf blight (for short: BB) is causing significant yield losses in Asia and Africa. It is triggered by the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), which has many distinct regional strains on various continents.

研究用分子标记辅助选择而非基因编辑，把多个抗Xoo基因同时导入KombokaP、FARO-44、NERICA-4三个非洲主栽品种，规避东非基因编辑审批缺位问题，但抗性目前仅限实验室品系，尚待田间试验验证。
