Abstract
Bacterial blight (BB) is the most destructive disease of rice. BB is caused by
bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. The disease is known to occur in epidemic
proportions in many parts of the world, incurring severe crop loss up to 50%. Bacteria
show variation in their characteristics according to region, environmental condition, soil
type and availability of the host. In order to know the diversity in Xanthomonas oryzae
pv. oryzae, it is necessary to characterize the bacterial isolates collected from various
parts of Gujarat.
