| Summary: | Rice bacterial blight (BB) and bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by <i>Xanthomonas oryzae</i> pv. <i>oryzae</i> (<i>Xoo</i>) and <i>Xanthomonas oryzae</i> pv. <i>oryzicola</i> (<i>Xoc</i>), respectively, are among the most devastating bacterial diseases threatening global rice production. The interactions between rice and <i>Xanthomonas oryzae</i> are complex and dynamic, involving recognition, attack, defense, and adaptation mechanisms enacted by both the rice host and the pathogens. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding rice–<i>Xanthomonas oryzae</i> interactions, focusing on infection models, pathogenic mechanisms, and immune responses elicited by <i>Xanthomonas oryzae</i>. Special attention is devoted to the roles of transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) and non-TALE effectors in pathogenicity, the functions of resistance (<i>R</i>) genes in defense, and the interconnected molecular networks of interactions derived from multi-omics approaches. Understanding these interactions is essential for developing effective disease-resistance strategies and creating elite disease-resistant rice varieties. |
