Schematic view representing the effect of a major bottleneck on Xanthomonas oryzae pv. orzyzae (Xoo) populations during the Green Revolution. Before the Green Revolution, Xa4 activity appears to be present in low frequency within traditional rice landraces. Therefore, a mixture of Xa4 virulent (vir) and Xa4 avirulent (avir) populations was expected to occur (colored dots). With the increasing adoption of Xa4-containing varieties, a major bottleneck forced avirulent populations to go extinct (dark blue dots) while virulent populations adapted and expanded (light blue dots). Furthermore, previously undetected virulent populations also emerged in the archipelago (green dots)
