Xa7 confers resistance to Xoo strains containing avrXa7 or pthXo3.

Rice plants of IR24 (clear boxes) and IRBB7 (filled boxes) were inoculated with strain ME2 carrying different major TALe genes. Individual strains are identified on the basis of the major TALe gene. Field isolates are specified below individual graphs to the left of the ME2-derived strains. Center lines indicate the median lesion length; box limits indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles as determined by R software; whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values; box width is proportional to the square root of the sample size; and data points (n = 26–42) are plotted as open circles. Treatments with the same lowercase letter are not significantly different at p < 0.05.
