Bacterial blight (BB) of rice, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is a significant disease in most rice cultivation areas. The present study was performed to identify new BB R-gene conferring resistance to Korea Xoo isolates, derived from IR65482-7-216-1-2 and to construct a physical map of the candidate gene. An F2 population derived from a cross between 11325 and Anda was used to determine the exact position of the nearest recombination event to the target region. The position of the R-gene was delimited by flanking markers, RM1233 and RM5766, on chromosome 11. Of the 56 markers designed in the flanking region, 20 were selected as anchor markers and the R-gene was mapped to a 295kb region on chromosome 11. To narrow down the interval spanning the R-gene, an additionally SSR marker, 20 STS markers, and CAPS marker between RM27320 and ID55.05-79 were developed using rice reference genome information. From the result the gene was defined by RM27320 and ID55.WA18-5 located in the BAC clone OSJNBa0036K13. The physical distance between these two markers is approximately 80kb. In a further study, gene expression analysis against listed candidate genes was investigated using semi-quantitative transcription PCR. These results will useful for future disease breeding as well as gene function studies regarding resistance genes.
