Conjugal transfer systems for introducing broad host-range cosmid cloning vectors are now available for several Xanthomonas campestris pathovars including X. campestris pv. oryzae (Xco), the causal agent of bacterial blight of rice. Extrachromosomal DNA can also be introduced into Xco by transformation, but at low frequencies. Once in the bacteria, cosmids pLAFR5 and pSa747 are stably maintained in the absence of antibiotic selection. Thus, there is now a genetic system in Xco that will analyze the structure and function of genes involved in pathogen-plant interactions.
