Molecular characterisation of Malaysian rice germplasm for bacterial blight

Bacteria blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae is one of the most destructive bacterial diseases of rice among the biotic stress that occurring worldwide. This disease is a significant constraint to food security in Asia, which cause yield loss in rice. Therefore, there is an urgent need for...
