Description Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a major rice pathogen, and its genome harbors extensive inter-strain and inter-lineage variations. The emergence of highly virulent pathotypes of Xoo that can overcome major resistance (R) genes deployed in rice breeding programs is a grave threat to rice cultivation. The present study reports on a long-read Oxford nanopore-based complete genomic investigation of Xoo isolates from 11 pathotypes that are reported based on their reaction toward 10 R genes. The investigation revealed remarkable variation in the genome structure in the strains belonging to different pathotypes. Furthermore, transcription activator-like effector (TALE) proteins secreted by the type III secretion system display marked variation in content, genomic location, classes, and DNA-binding domain. We also found the association of tal genes in the vicinity of regions with genome structural variations. Furthermore, in silico analysis of the genome-wide rice targets of TALEs allowed us to understand the emergence of pathotypes compatible with major R genes. Long-read, cost-effective sequencing technologies such as nanopore can be a game changer in the surveillance of major and emerging pathotypes. The resource and findings will be invaluable in the management of Xoo and in appropriate deployment of R genes in rice breeding programs.
