<p>Team of Researcher from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)&#039;s Joint Bio Energy Institute (JBEI) and the University of California (UC) Davis, recently  uncovered a mysterious though on development of immune system in rice plants which influenced by fight against Bacterial Blight diseases with help of Bacterial molecules.</p><p>Researcher finds tyrosine-sulfated bacterial protein (RaxX) activates the receptor protein (XA21) in rice which in turn helps rice plants in development of Immune System against; Xanthomonas oryzae a pathogen causes Bacterial Blight in rice plants.</p><h2>According to Scientists:</h2><p>“Our results show that RaxX, a small, previously undescribed bacterial protein, is required for activation of XA21-mediated immunity to Xanthomonas oryzae,” says Pamela Ronald, a plant geneticist for both JBEI and UC Davis who led this study. “XA21 can detect RaxX and quickly mobilize its defenses to mount a potent immune response against Xanthomonas oryzae. Rice plants that do not carry the XA21 immune receptor or other related immune receptors are virtually defenseless against bacterial blight.</p><p>Note: The above story is for information purpose for more details go through Original Story Source.
