BACKGROUND: Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is a plant pathogen responsible for causing one of the most severe bacterial diseases in rice, known as bacterial leaf blight that poses a major threat to global rice production. Even though several experimental compounds and chemical agents have been tested against X. oryzae pv. oryzae, still no approved drug is available. In this study, a subtractive genomic approach was used to identify potential therapeutic targets and repurposible drug candidates that could control of bacterial leaf blight in rice plants...
