A nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat gene OsCNL1 contributes to strain-specific resistance to bacterial blight in rice.

Bacterial blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), remains a major threat to rice production, and continued discovery and functional validation of resistance genes remain important for durable disease management. Here, we functionally characterized OsCNL1 (LOC_Os11g37759), a rice coiled-coil (CC)-typ...
