Abstract

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is the causal agent of bacterial blight on rice. In this paper, current status on molecular genetic study of major virulence genes, hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (hrp), productions of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS), extracellular enzymes and lipopolysaccharides (LPS), avr genes were reviewed. The IS elements with 611 copies including 133 ORF IS were inserted in various regions of the Xoo genome and in expecially regions franking virulence genes. Whole genome sequence of X. oryzae pv. oryzae KACC10331 were used for defining genetic organization of the virulence genes. Futhermore, the virulence genes in Xoo genome were compared to those of other Xanthomonas species in Blast GenBank data base.

본 논문은 벼 흰 잎마름병균인 Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae(Xoo)의 병원성 유전자의 분자유전학적 연구현황을 기술하고자 한다. 또한 국내 고유 벼 흰 잎마름병균 KACC10331의 유전체해독 정보를 기반으로 다른 Xanthomonas의 유전체와 비교 분석함으로써, Xoo의 주요 병원성 유전자의 분자구조를 구명하고자 한다. 이를 통해 Xoo 고유 병원성 유전자 탐색 및 기능 해석을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. Xoo 유전체에는 5개 과(family)에 속하는 9 type의 Insertion sequence(IS)가 611 copy로 존재하고 있으며, 주로 병원성 관련 유전자군 주위에 많이 분포하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 현재까지 연구가 수행된 주요 병원성 관련 유전자인 hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (hrp) 유전자, extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) 유전자, extracellular enzyme 유전자, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) 유전자, 그리고 avilulence 유전자의 분자유전학적 연구현황을 기술하였다.
