Reclassification of the Causal Agents of Bacterial Blight (Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae) and Bacterial Leaf Streak (Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzicola) of Rice as Pathovars of Xanthomonas oryzae (ex Ishiyama 1922) sp. nov., nom. rev.
On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic, and chemotaxonomic data, Xanthomonas oryzae (ex Ishiyama 1922) sp. nov., nom. rev. is proposed; this species comprises Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Ishiyama 1922) comb. nov. and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Fang, Ren, Chen, Chu, Faan, and Wu 1957) comb. nov., the causal agents of bacterial blight and bacterial leaf streak of rice, respectively.
