Characterization of newly introduced bacterial blight pathogen risk to African rice production and preparedness plans to limit the spread of seed-borne pathogen of high phytosanitary importance
Transboundary spread of pathogens poses a serious risk to crops in the introduced locations. In 2023, bacterial blight (BB) was observed in Uganda for the first time. Genomic DNA was extracted from two BLB-UG cultures and subjected to whole genome sequencing using Illumina NovaSeq (Novogene Inc., Be...
