Score: 11.00 | Title: A conserved threonine residue in the juxtamembrane domain of the XA21 pattern recognition receptor is critical for kinase autophosphorylation and XA21-mediated immunity .
| Author: Chen X Chern M Canlas PE Jiang C Ruan D Cao P Ronald PC | Journal: J Biol Chem Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub20118235 Accession (PMID): 20118235 | Abstract: Despite the key role that pattern recognition receptors ( PRRs ) play in regulating immunity in plants and animals , the mechanism of activation of the associated non-arginine-aspartate ( non-RD ) kinases is unknown .
The rice PRR XA21 recognizes the pathogen-associated molecular pattern , Ax21 ( activator of XA21-mediated immunity ) .
Here we show that the XA21 juxtamembrane ( JM ) domain is required for kinase autophosphorylation .
Threonine 705 in the XA21 JM domain is essential for XA21 autophosphorylation in vitro and XA21-mediated innate immunity in vivo .
The replacement of Thr ( 705 ) by an alanine or glutamic acid abolishes XA21 autophosphorylation and eliminates interactions between XA21 and four XA21-binding proteins in yeast and rice .
Although threonine residues analogous to Thr ( 705 ) of XA21 are present in the JM domains of most RD and non-RD plant receptor-like kinases , this residue is not required for autophosphorylation of the Arabidopsis RD RLK BRI1 ( brassinosteroid insensitive 1 ) .
The threonine 705 of XA21 is conserved only in the JM domains of plant RLKs but not in those of fly , human , or mouse suggesting distinct regulatory mechanisms .
These results contribute to growing knowledge regarding the mechanism by which non-RD RLKs function in plant .

Score: 10.00 | Title: Plasma membrane localization and potential endocytosis of constitutively expressed XA21 proteins in transgenic rice .
| Author: Chen F Gao MJ Miao YS Yuan YX Wang MY Li Q Mao BZ Jiang LW He ZH | Journal: Mol Plant Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub20616165 Accession (PMID): 20616165 | Abstract: The rice pattern recognition receptor ( PRR ) XA21 confers race-specific resistance in leaf infection by bacterial blight Xathomonas oryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) , and was shown to be primarily localized to the endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) when expressed with its native promoter or overexpressed in the protoplast However , whether the protein is still ER-localization in the intact cell when overexpressed remains to be identified .
Here , we showed that XA21 , its kinase-dead mutant XA21P ( K736EP ) , and the triple autophosphorylation mutant XA21P ( S686A/T688A/S699A ) GFP fusions were primarily localized to the plasma membrane ( PM ) when overexpressed in the intact transgenic rice cell , and also localized to the ER in the transgenic protoplast The transgenic plants constitutively expressing the wild-type XA21 or its GFP fusion displayed race-specific resistance to Xoo at the adult and seedling stages .
XA21 and XA21P ( K736EP ) could be internalized probably via the SCAMP-positive early endosomal compartment in the protoplast , suggesting that XA21 might be endocytosed to initiate resistance responses during pathogen infection .
We also established a root infection system and demonstrated that XA21 also mediated race-specific resistance responses to Xoo in the root .
Our current study provides an insight into the nature of the XA21-mediated resistance and a practical approach using the root cell system to further dissect the cellular signaling of the PRR during the rice-Xoo interaction .

Score: 10.00 | Title: Adaptive evolution of Xa21 homologs in Gramineae .
| Author: Tan S Wang D Ding J Tian D Zhang X Yang S | Journal: Genetica Type: In-Process | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub22451352 Accession (PMID): 22451352 | Abstract: The XA21 protein has broad spectrum resistance against Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae .
Although Xa21-mediated immunity is well characterized , little is known about the origin and evolutionary history of this gene in grasses .
Therefore , we analyzed all Xa21 gene homologs in eight whole-genome sequenced rice lines , as well as in four gramineous genomes , rice , Brachypodium , sorghum and maize ; using Arabidopsis Xa21 homologs as outgroups , 17 , 7 , 7 and 3 Xa21 homologs were detected in these four grasses , respectively .
Synteny and phylogenetic analysis showed that frequent gene translocation , duplication and/or loss , have occurred at Xa21 homologous loci , suggesting that they have undergone or are undergoing rapid generation of copy number variations .
Within the rice species , the high level of nucleotide diversity between Xa21-like orthologs showed a strong association with the presence/absence haplotypes , suggesting that the genetic structure of rice lines plays an important role in the variations between these Xa21-like orthologs .
Strongly positive selection was detected in the core region of the leucine-rich repeat domains of the Xa21 subclade among the rice lines , indicating that the rapid gene diversification of Xa21 homologs may be a strategy for a given species to adapt to the changing spectrum of species-specific pathogens .

One chromosome 11 marker ( RG103 ) detected polymorphism between the NILs that cosegregated with Xa21 .
All other chromosome 11 DNA markers tested were monomorphic between the NILs , localizing the Xa21 introgressed region to an 8 . 3 cM interval on chromosome 11 .
Furthermore , we identified two polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) products ( RAPD2148 and RAPD818 ) that detected polymorphisms between the NILs .
Genomic sequences hybridizing with RAPD818 , RAPD248 and RG103 were duplicated specifically in the Xa21 NIL .
All three markers cosegregated with the resistance locus , Xa21 , in a F2 population of 386 progeny .
Based on the frequency with which we recovered polymorphic Xa21-linked markers , we estimated the physical size of the introgressed region to be approximately 800 kb .
This estimation was supported by physical mapping ( using pulsed field gel electrophoresis ) of the sequences hybridizing with the three Xa21-linked DNA markers .
The results showed that the three Xa21-linked markers are physically close to each other , with one copy of the RAPD818 sequences located within 60 kb of RAPD248 and the other copy within 270 kb of RG103 .

Score: 7.00 | Title: Short communication : developmental control of Xa21-mediated disease resistance in rice .
| Author: Century KS Lagman RA Adkisson M Morlan J Tobias R Schwartz K Smith A Love J Ronald PC Whalen MC .
| Journal: Plant J Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub10571882 Accession (PMID): 10571882 | Abstract: The rice resistance gene Xa21 confers resistance against the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) .
The molecular genetic mechanism controlling the integration of the Xa21-mediated disease resistance response with the developmental program in rice is under study in this model system .
Reproducible means of infecting plants at certain developmental stages were designed based on the timing of full expansion of the leaf .

Score: 6.00 | Title: [ Accelerated improvement of bacterial blight resistance of Shuhui527 using molecular marker-assisted selection ] | Author: Huang TY Li SG Wang YP Li HY .
| Journal: Sheng Wu Gong Cheng Xue Bao Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub15966313 Accession (PMID): 15966313 | Abstract: Shuhui527 is a promising restorer line bred by Rice Research Institute of Sichuan Agricultural University in recent years .
However , this line is susceptible to Bacterial Blight ( BB ) , which limits its use .
The IRBB60 , from the International Rice Research Institute ( IRRI ) , contains dominant genes Xa21 and Xa4 conferring resistance to BB .
The objective of this study is to improve the BB resistance of Shuhui527 by introgressing Xa21 and Xa4 , the two broad-spectrum BB resistance genes , into Shuhui527 with IRBB60 as the donor , pTA248 and MP12 , linking tightly with Xa21 and Xa4 respectively as DNA markers .
BC1 F1 progenies of ( Shuhui527 x IRBB60 ) , containing Xa21 and Xa4 identified using PCR screening and with agronomic traits including plant type , grain type and days to heading etc similar to those of Shuhui527 , were subsequently backcrossed to Shuhui527 and self-pollinated to generate BC2 F1 and BC1 F2 . The BC3 F1 and BC3 F2 were subsequently developed using the same approach .
Among the 20 BC3 F2 plants , homozygous Xa21 and Xa4 , 10 plants were the most similar to Shuhui527 in the agronomic traits , and were screened using 120 pairs SSR and 100 pairs RAPD markers .
Based on the results of the background screening and the performance of the agronomic traits , 5 plants were identified as improved-Shuhui527 and designated as 527R-5 , 527R-6 , 527R-8 , 527R-9 and 527R-10 .
The improved- Shuhui527 lines expressed high resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) stains C I - C VII , P1 and P6 .
The evaluation of the polymorphisms and selection accuracies of pTA248 and MP12 demonstrated that the polymorphisms of the two markers were obvious and co-dominant and the accuracies were more than 97% and 83% respectively , indicating the two markers are good for Xa21 and Xa4 in Molecular Marker-assisted Selection .

Score: 6.00 | Title: Epigenetic inheritance in rice plants .
| Author: Akimoto K Katakami H Kim HJ Ogawa E Sano CM Wada Y Sano H | Journal: Ann Bot ( Lond ) Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub17576658 Accession (PMID): 17576658 | Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS : Epigenetics is defined as mechanisms that regulate gene expression without base sequence alteration .
One molecular basis is considered to be DNA cytosine methylation , which reversibly modifies DNA or chromatin structures .
Although its correlation with epigenetic inheritance over generations has been circumstantially shown , evidence at the gene level has been limited .
The present study aims to find genes whose methylation status directly correlates with inheritance of phenotypic changes .
METHODS : DNA methylation in vivo was artificially reduced by treating rice ( Oryza sativa ssp . japonica ) seeds with 5-azadeoxycytidine , and the progeny were cultivated in the field for > 10 years .
Genomic regions with changed methylation status were screened by the methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphysm ( MSAP ) method , and cytosine methylation was directly scanned by the bisulfite mapping method .
Pathogen infection with Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae , race PR2 was performed by the scissors-dip method on mature leaf blades .
KEY RESULTS : The majority of seedlings were lethal , but some survived to maturity .
One line designated as Line-2 showed a clear marker phenotype of dwarfism , which was stably inherited by the progeny over nine generations .
MSAP screening identified six fragments , among which two were further characterized by DNA blot hybridization and direct methylation mapping .
One clone encoding a retrotransposon gag-pol polyprotein showed a complete erasure of 5-methylcytosines in Line-2 , but neither translocation nor expression of this region was detectable .
The other clone encoded an Xa21-like protein , Xa21G .
In wild-type plants , all cytosines were methylated within the promoter region , whereas in Line-2 , corresponding methylation was completely erased throughout generations .
Expression of Xa21G was not detectable in wild type but was constitutive in Line-2 .
When infected with X oryzae pv . oryzae , against which Xa21 confers resistance in a gene-for-gene manner , the progeny of Line-2 were apparently resistant while the wild type was highly susceptible without Xa21G expression .
CONCLUSIONS : These results indicated that demethylation was selective in Line-2 , and that promoter demethylation abolished the constitutive silencing of Xa21G due to hypermethylation , resulting in acquisition of disease resistance .
Both hypomethylation and resistant trait were stably inherited .
This is a clear example of epigenetic inheritance , and supports the idea of Lamarckian inheritance which suggested acquired traits to be heritable .

This is a clear example of epigenetic inheritance , and supports the idea of Lamarckian inheritance which suggested acquired traits to be heritable . [ Sen. 16, subscore: 1.00 ]: The other clone encoded an Xa21-like protein , Xa21G . In wild-type plants , all cytosines were methylated within the promoter region , whereas in Line-2 , corresponding methylation was completely erased throughout generations . Expression of Xa21G was not detectable in wild type but was constitutive in Line-2 . When infected with X oryzae pv . oryzae , against which Xa21 confers resistance in a gene-for-gene manner , the progeny of Line-2 were apparently resistant while the wild type was highly susceptible without Xa21G expression . CONCLUSIONS : These results indicated that demethylation was selective in Line-2 , and that promoter demethylation abolished the constitutive silencing of Xa21G due to hypermethylation , resulting in acquisition of disease resistance . Both hypomethylation and resistant trait were stably inherited .

Xa3/Xa26 and Xa21 , encoding leucine-rich repeat ( LRR ) -kinase type plasma membrane proteins , mediate race-specific resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) , which causes bacterial blight , one of the most devastating rice diseases .
Plants carrying Xa3/Xa26 and plants carrying Xa21 have different resistance spectra and the functions of the two R genes are regulated by developmental stage .
Four chimeric genes encoding proteins consisting of different parts of XA3/XA26 and XA21 were constructed by domain swapping and transformed into a susceptible rice variety .
The resistance spectra and development-regulated resistance of the transgenic plants carrying Xa3/Xa26 , Xa21 , or chimeric gene to different Xoo strains were analyzed in the same genetic background .
The results suggest that the gradually increased expression of Xa3/Xa26 and Xa21 plays an important role in the progressively enhanced Xoo resistance during rice development .

Rice lines silenced for Xb24 display enhanced XA21-mediated immunity , whereas rice lines overexpressing XB24 are compromised for immunity . XB24 ATPase enzyme activity is required for XB24 function . XA21 is degraded in the presence of the pathogen-associated molecular pattern Ax21 when XB24 is overexpressed . These results demonstrate a function for this large class of broadly conserved ATPases in PRR-mediated immunity .

Score: 5.00 | Title: Transcriptional characteristics of Xa21-mediated defense responses in rice .
| Author: Gan Q Bai H Zhao X Tao Y Zeng H Han Y Song W Zhu L Liu G | Journal: J Integr Plant Biol Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub21324061 Accession (PMID): 21324061 | Abstract: Bacterial blight , caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) , is the most destructive bacterial disease of rice .
The cloned rice gene Xa21 confers resistance to a broad spectrum of Xoo races .
To identify genes involved in Xa21-mediated immunity , a whole-genome oligonucleotide microarray of rice was used to profile the expression of rice genes between incompatible interactions and mock treatments at 0 , 4 , 8 , 24 , 72 and 120 h post inoculation ( hpi ) or between incompatible and compatible interactions at 4 hpi , respectively .
A total of 441 differentially expressed genes , designated as XDGs ( Xa21 mediated differentially expressed genes ) , were identified .
Based on their functional annotations , the XDGs were assigned to 14 categories , including defense-related , signaling , transcriptional regulators .
Most of the defense-related genes belonged to the pathogenesis-related gene family , which was induced dramatically at 72 and 120 hpi .
Interestingly , most signaling and transcriptional regulator genes were downregulated at 4 and 8 hpi , suggesting that negative regulation of cellular signaling may play a role in the Xa21-mediated defense response .
Comparison of expression profiles between Xa21 and other R gene-mediated defense systems revealed interesting common responses .
Representative XDGs with supporting evidences were also discussed .

Score: 5.00 | Title: Cleavage and nuclear localization of the rice XA21 immune receptor .
| Author: Park CJ Ronald PC | Journal: Nat Commun Type: In-Data-Review | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub22735448 Accession (PMID): 22735448 | Abstract: Plants and animals carry specific receptors that recognize invading pathogens and respond by activating an immune response .
The rice XA21 receptor confers broad-spectrum immunity to the Gram-negative bacterial pathogen , Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae upon recognition of a small protein , Ax21 , that is conserved in all Xanthomonas species and related genera .
Here we demonstrate that XA21 is cleaved to release the intracellular kinase domain and that this intracellular domain carries a functional nuclear localization sequence .
Bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays indicate that the XA21 intracellular domain interacts with the OsWRKY62 transcriptional regulator exclusively in the nucleus of rice protoplasts .
In vivo cleavage of XA21 and translocalization of the intracellular kinase domain to the nucleus is required for the XA21-mediated immune response .
These results suggest a new model for immune receptor function : on receptor recognition of conserved microbial signatures , the associated kinase translocates to the nucleus where it directly interacts with transcriptional regulators .

| Author: Deng Z Gmitter FG .
| Journal: Theor . Appl . Genet . Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub13679986 Accession (PMID): 13679986 | Abstract: The rice gene Xa21 represents a unique class of plant disease resistance ( R ) genes with distinct protein structure and broad-spectrum specificity ; few sequences or genes of this class have been cloned and characterized in other plant species .
Degenerate primers were designed from the conserved motifs in the kinase domains of Xa21 and tomato Pto , and used in PCR amplification to identify this class of resistance gene candidate ( RGC ) sequences from citrus for future evaluation of possible association with citrus canker resistance .
Twenty-nine RGC sequences highly similar to the kinase domain of Xa21 ( 55%-60% amino-acid identity ) were cloned and characterized .
To facilitate recovery of full-length gene structures and to overcome RGC mapping limitations , large-insert genomic clones ( BACs ) were identified , fingerprinted and assembled into contigs .
Southern hybridization revealed the presence of 1-3 copies of receptor-like kinase sequences ( ie , clustering ) in each BAC .
Some of these sequences were sampled by PCR amplification and direct sequencing .
Twenty-three sequences were thus obtained and classified into five groups and eight subgroups , which indicates the possibility of enhancing RGC sequence diversity from BACs .
A primer-walking strategy was employed to derive full-length gene structures from two BAC clones ; both sequences 17o6RLK and 26m19RLK contained all the features of the rice Xa21 protein , including a signal peptide , the same number of leucine-rich-repeats , and transmembrane and kinase domains .
These results demonstrate that PCR amplification with appropriately designed degenerate primers is an efficient approach for cloning receptor-like kinase class RGCs .
Utilization of BAC clones can facilitate this approach in multiple ways by improving sequence diversity , providing full-length genes , and assisting in understanding gene structures and distribution .

The results of bacterial blight ( BB ) resistance tests and hygromycin B resistance assay of SMF Xa21 transgenic plants testified the reliability of this method .

| Author: Lee SW Han SW Sririyanum M Park CJ Seo YS Ronald PC | Journal: Science Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub19892983 Accession (PMID): 19892983 | Abstract: The rice Xa21 gene confers immunity to most strains of the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) .
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis of biologically active fractions from Xoo supernatants led to the identification of a 194-amino acid protein designated Ax21 ( activator of XA21-mediated immunity ) .
A sulfated , 17-amino acid synthetic peptide ( axY ( S ) 22 ) derived from the N-terminal region of Ax21 is sufficient for activity , whereas peptides lacking tyrosine sulfation are biologically inactive .
Using coimmunoprecipitation , we found that XA21 is required for axY ( S ) 22 binding and recognition . axY ( S ) 22 is 100% conserved in all analyzed Xanthomonas species , confirming that Ax21 is a pathogen-associated molecular pattern and that XA21 is a pattern recognition receptor .

A case study of rice R genes and Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae races .

| Journal: Genetics Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub11606550 Accession (PMID): 11606550 | Abstract: The resistance of rice to its bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) has both qualitative and quantitative components that were investigated using three near-isogenic line sets for four resistance ( R ) genes ( Xa4 , xa5 , xa13 , and Xa21 ) and 12 Xoo races .
Our results indicate that these two resistance components of rice plants were associated with the properties of the R genes .
The qualitative component of the R genes was reflected by their large effects against corresponding avirulent Xoo races .
The quantitative component of the R genes was their residual effects against corresponding virulent races and their epistatic effects , which together could lead to high-level resistance in a race-specific manner .
Our results revealed important differences between the different types of R genes .
Two R genes , Xa4 and Xa21 , showed complete dominance against the avirulent Xoo races and had large residual effects against virulent ones .
They acted independently and cumulatively , suggesting they are involved in different pathways of the rice defensive system .
The third R gene , xa5 , showed partial dominance or additivity to the avirulent Xoo races and had relatively small but significant residual effects against the virulent races .
In contrast , xa13 was completely recessive , had no residual effects against the virulent races , and showed more pronounced race specificity .
There was a strong interaction leading to increased resistance between xa13 and xa5 and between either of them and Xa4 or Xa21 , suggesting their regulatory roles in the rice defensive pathway ( s ) .

| Author: Shen Y Sharma P da Silva FG Ronald P | Journal: Mol . Microbiol .

Here we show that two Xoo genes , raxP and raxQ , are required for AvrXa21 activity . raxP and raxQ , which reside in a genomic cluster of sulphur assimilation genes , encode an ATP sulphurylase and APS ( adenosine-5-phosphosulphate ) kinase .
These enzymes function together to produce activated forms of sulphate , APS and PAPS ( 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulphate ) .
Xoo PR6 strains carrying disruptions in either gene , PR6DeltaraxP or PR6DeltaraxQ , are unable to produce APS and PAPS and are virulent on Xa21-containing rice lines .
RaxP and RaxQ are similar to the bacterial symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti host specificity proteins , NodP and NodQ and the Escherichia coli cysteine synthesis proteins CysD , CysN and CysC .
The APS and PAPS produced by RaxP and RaxQ are used for both cysteine synthesis and sulphation of other molecules .
Mutation in Xoo xcysI , a homologue of Escherichia coli cysI that is required for cysteine synthesis , blocked APS or PAPS-dependent cysteine synthesis but did not affect AvrXa21 activity , suggesting that AvrXa21 activity is related to sulphation rather than cysteine synthesis .
Taken together , these results demonstrate that APS and PAPS production plays a critical role in determining avirulence of a phytopathogen and reveal a commonality between symbiotic and phytopathogenic bacteria .

Score: 3.00 | Title: Rice NRR , a negative regulator of disease resistance , interacts with Arabidopsis NPR1 and rice NH1 .
| Author: Chern M Canlas PE Fitzgerald HA Ronald PC .
| Journal: Plant J Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub16115061 Accession (PMID): 16115061 | Abstract: Arabidopsis NPR1/NIM1 is a key regulator of systemic acquired resistance ( SAR ) , which confers lasting broad-spectrum resistance .
Over-expression of Arabidopsis NPR1 or the NPR1 homolog 1 ( NH1 ) in rice results in enhanced resistance to the pathogen Xanthomonasoryzae pv . oryzae ( Xoo ) , suggesting the presence of a related defense pathway in rice .
We investigated this pathway in rice by identifying proteins that interact with NH1 .
Here we report the isolation and characterization of a rice cDNA encoding a novel protein , named NRR ( for negative regulator of resistance ) .
NRR interacts with NPR1 in the NPR1-interacting domain ( NI25 ) consisting of 25 amino acids .
NRR also interacts with NH1 ; however , NI25 was not sufficient for a strong interaction , indicating a difference between the rice and the Arabidopsis proteins .
Silencing of NRR in rice had little effect on resistance to Xoo .
When constitutively over-expressed in rice , NRR affected basal resistance , age-related resistance and Xa21-mediated resistance , causing enhanced susceptibility to Xoo .
This phenotype was correlated with elevated NRR mRNA and protein levels and increased Xoo growth .
Over-expression of NRR suppressed the induction of defense-related genes .
NRR : GFP ( green fluorescent protein ) protein was localized to the nucleus , indicating that NRR may act directly to suppress the activation of defense genes .

| Author: Kishimoto K Kouzai Y Kaku H Shibuya N Minami E Nishizawa Y | Journal: Plant J Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub21070413 Accession (PMID): 21070413 | Abstract: Chitin is a component of fungal cell walls , and its fragments act as elicitors in many plants .
The plasma membrane glycoprotein CEBiP , which possesses LysM domains , is a receptor for the chitin elicitor ( CE ) in rice .
Here , we report that the perception of CE by CEBiP contributes to disease resistance against the rice blast fungus , Magnaporthe oryzae , and that enhanced responses to CE by engineering CEBiP increase disease tolerance .
Knockdown of CEBiP expression allowed increased spread of the infection hyphae .
To enhance defense responses to CE , we constructed chimeric genes composed of CEBiP and Xa21 , which mediate resistance to rice bacterial leaf blight .
The expression of either CRXa1 or CRXa3 , each of which contains the whole extracellular portion of CEBiP , the whole intracellular domain of XA21 , and the transmembrane domain from either CEBiP or XA21 , induced cell death accompanied by an increased production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species after treatment with CE .
Rice plants expressing the chimeric receptor exhibited necrotic lesions in response to CE and became more resistant to M oryzae .
Deletion of the first LysM domain in CRXA1 abolished these cellular responses .
These results suggest that CEs are produced and recognized through the LysM domain of CEBiP during the interaction between rice and M oryzae and imply that engineering pattern recognition receptors represents a new strategy for crop protection against fungal diseases .

Recently , a number of genes involved in the Xa21-mediated disease resistance pathway have been identified .
Based on our previous data and the literature , we chose 16 candidate proteins and made corresponding antibodies .
Using Western blotting , we systematically investigated the expression profile of the proteins in Xa21-mediated disease resistance response .
We found nine proteins with altered expression .
We further compared their expression in resistance , susceptible and mock responses , and found that GST expression was up-regulated during the resistance process , indicating GST is a positive regulator in resistance responses .
ATPsB expression was down-regulated during both the resistance and susceptible response processes , although it was higher in the resistance response than that in the susceptible response .
The total amount of MYB , GAPDH , CatB , Trx and NB-ARC proteins was lower in the resistance than in the susceptible response , but their abundance per unit bacteria in the resistance response was still higher than in the susceptible response , suggesting that these proteins might be positive regulators in the resistance response .
In addition , expression of another ERF was induced by inoculation with bacterial blight pathogen , and expression of Zf-LSD1 was activated by wounding stress alone .
Interestingly , most proteins showed similar altered expression patterns in the resistance and susceptible responses , but differed to some extents , implying that both responses might share common molecular mechanisms .
This study revealed evidence of resistance-related protein expression , providing a foundation for better understanding of their functions .

| Journal: Yi Chuan Xue Bao Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub11329876 Accession (PMID): 11329876 | Abstract: Rice transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens has technically matured to some extent , but the mechanics of T-DNA integration in transgenic rice remains largely unknown .
Using thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR ( TAIL-PCR ) , we analyzed the flanking sequences of T-DNAs in transgenic rice plants , in which the resistance gene for rice bacterial blight disease , Xa21 , had been integrated stably .
Sequence analysis of 24 fragments amplified by TAIL-PCR showed that of them 14 were rice genomic DNA , 9 contained vector backbone sequences , and one was a fragment of the exogenous gene Xa21 .
The characteristics of the 14 rice genomic DNA sequences at T-DNA integrated sites are significantly different from those of the reported rice genomic sequences into which exogenous genes were integrated through direct DNA transformation methods .
T-DNA border sequences integrated in rice genome have similar features as those integrated in dicotyledonous genomes .

| Journal: Biochem . Genet . Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub11590832 Accession (PMID): 11590832 | Abstract: Bacterial leaf blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae is one of the most important diseases affecting rice production in Asia .
We were interested in surveying rice genotypes that are popularly used in the Indian breeding program for conferring resistance to bacterial blight , using 11 STMS and 6 STS markers .
The basis of selection of these DNA markers was their close linkage to xa5 , xa13 , and Xa21 genes and their positions on the rice genetic map relative to bacterial blight resistance genes .
Eight lines were found to contain the xa5 gene while two lines contained Xa21 gene and none of the lines contained the xa13 gene with the exception of its near-isogenic line .
Using the polymorphic markers obtained in the initial survey , marker-assisted selection was performed in the F3 population of a cross between IR-64 and IET-14444 to detect lines containing multiple resistance genes .
Of the 59 progeny lines analyzed , eight lines contained both the resistance genes , xa5 and Xa4 . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 3, subscore: 1.00 ]: Bacterial leaf blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae is one of the most important diseases affecting rice production in Asia .

Unique characteristics of Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae AvrXa21 and implications for plant innate immunity .
| Author: Lee SW Han SW Bartley LE Ronald PC .
| Journal: Proc . Natl . Acad . Sci . USA Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub17082309 Accession (PMID): 17082309 | Abstract: This article provides a brief overview of some of the major concepts and molecular features of plant and animal innate immune systems .
The rice pathogen recognition receptor , XA21 , confers resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv . oryzae strains producing the AvrXa21 elicitor .
Xa21 codes for a receptor-like kinase consisting of an extracellular leucine-rich repeat domain , a transmembrane domain , and a cytoplasmic kinase domain .
We show that AvrXa21 activity requires the presence of rax ( required for AvrXa21 ) A , raxB , and raxC genes that encode components of a type one secretion system .
In contrast , an hrpC ( - ) strain deficient in type three secretion maintains AvrXa21 activity .
Xanthomonas campestris pv . campestris can express AvrXa21 activity if raxST , encoding a putative sulfotransferase , and raxA are provided in trans .
Expression of rax genes depends on population density and other functioning rax genes .
This and other data suggest that the AvrXa21 pathogen-associated molecule is involved in quorum sensing .
Together these data suggest that AvrXa21 represents a previously uncharacterized class of Gram-negative bacterial signaling molecules .
These results from our studies of the XA21/AvrXa21 interaction call for some modifications in the way we think about innate immunity strategies .

Type: ARTICLE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub17172048 Accession (PMID): 17172048 | Abstract: Anther culture offers a rapid method of generating homozygous lines for breeding program and genetic analysis .
To produce homozygous transgenic lines of rice ( Oryza sativa L ) in one step , we developed an efficient protocol of anther-callus-based transformation mediated by Agrobacterium after optimizing several factors influencing efficient transformation , including callus induction and Agrobacterium density for co-cultivation .
Using this protocol , we obtained 145 independent green transformants from five cultivars of japonica rice by transformation with a binary vector pCXK1301 bearing the rice gene , Xa21 for resistance to bacterial blight , of which 140 were further confirmed by PCR and Southern hybridization analysis , including haploids ( 32 . 1% ) , diploids ( 62 . 1% ) and mixoploids ( 7 . 5% ) .
Fifteen diploids were found to be doubled haploids , which accounted for 10 . 7% of the total positive lines .
Finally , by including 28 from colchicine induced or spontaneous diploidization of haploids later after transformation , a total of 43 doubled haploids ( 30 . 7% ) of Xa21 transgenic lines were obtained .
We also generated two RNAi transgenic haploids of the rice OsMADS2 gene , a putative redundant gene of OsMADS4 based on their sequence similarity , to investigate its possible roles in rice flower development by this method .
Flowers from the two OsMADS2 RNAi transgenic haploids displayed obvious homeotic alternations , in which lodicules were transformed into palea/lemma-like it issues , whereas identities of other floral organs were maintained .
The phenotypic alternations were proved to result from specific transcriptional suppression of OsMADS2 gene by the introduced RNAi transgene .
The results confirmed that OsMADS2 is involved in lodicule development of rice flower and functionally redundant with OsMADS4 gene .
