Physiology of resistant interactions between Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and rice

  • Chapter
Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Virulence

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant Pathology ((DIPP,volume 3))

Abstract

Resistant interactions between Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and rice are characterized by increases in the activities of three extracellular peroxidases (two anionic and one cationic), lignin deposition, host cell death, and a decrease in the rate of bacterial multiplication. The timing and dynamics of these events is dependent on the specific avirulence gene-resistance gene interaction. In susceptible interactions, increases in peroxidase activity, lignin deposition, and host cell death are delayed, and bacterial multiplication is not inhibited. In the absence of light, the events associated with resistance do not occur, and a response similar to the susceptible response is observed.
