Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a devastating disease in rice worldwide. The resistance gene Xa7, which provides dominant resistance against the pathogen with avirulence (Avr) gene AvrXa7, has proved to be durably resistant to BB. A set of SSR markers were selected from the “gramene” database based on the Xa7 gene initial mapping region on chromosome 6. These markers were used to construct a high-resolution genetic map of the chromosomal region surrounding the Xa7 gene. An F₂ mapping population with 721 highly susceptible individuals derived from a cross between the near isogenic lines (NILs) IRBB7 and IR24 were constructed to localize the Xa7 gene. In a primary analysis with eleven polymorphic SSR markers, Xa7 was located in approximately the 0.28-cM region. To walk closer to the target gene, recombinant F₂ individuals were tested using newly developed STMS (sequence tagged microsatellite) markers. Finally, the Xa7 gene was mapped to a 0.21-cM interval between the markers GDSSR02 and RM20593. The Xa7-linked markers were landed on the reference sequence of cv. Nipponbare through bioinformatics analysis. A contig map corresponding to the Xa7 gene was constructed. The target gene was assumed to span an interval of approximately 118.5-kb which contained a total of fourteen genes released by the TIGR Genome Annotation Version 5.0. Candidate-gene analysis of Xa7 revealed that the fourteen genes encode novel domains that have no amino acid sequence similar to other cloned Xa(xa) genes.
