Abstract

Rice grain rot disease was detected for the first time in Mazandaran Province, Iran. The bacteria isolated from infected rice plants showed grains rotted and darkening. A Xanthomonas strain closely connected to X. sacchari was identified using molecular and whole genome sequencing approaches confirmed as the causal agent by fulfilling Koch’s postulates.
