  abstract = {{X}anthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is the causal agent of bacterial blight in rice, one of the most devastating diseases of rice worldwide. {A}frican {X}. oryzae pv. oryzae strains belong to a clear genetic group distinct from those of {A}sia. {T}hree new races of the pathogen were characterized among strains from {W}est {A}frica. {W}e evaluated 107 {O}ryza glaberrima accessions for resistance to bacterial blight under greenhouse conditions. {S}ix-week-old seedlings were inoculated with five different {A}frican {X}. oryzae pv. oryzae strains originating from the {W}est {A}frican nations of {B}urkina and {M}ali and representing different races ({A}1, {A}2, and {A}3). {P}hilippine {X}. oryzae pv. oryzae strain {PXO}86 (race 2) was also used. {M}ost (48%) of the accessions of {O}. glaberrima were highly susceptible to {X}. oryzae pv. oryzae strains from {B}urkina, while 20 and 36 were resistant to {X}. oryzae pv. oryzae strains from {M}ali and the {P}hilippines, respectively. {CAPS} markers and dot blot assays were used for detection of resistance genes xa5 and {X}a21 from a selected set of {O}. glaberrima accessions. {O}ur results suggest that the {O}. glaberrima germplasm contains a narrow genetic base for resistance to {X}. oryzae pv. oryzae. {S}ources of resistance identified among {O}. glaberrima are recommended for rice breeding programs to develop bacterial blight-resistant cultivars for {W}est {A}frica.},
