Cultivation of rice may be made easier as our understanding of the molecular basis of disease in rice improves. Song et al. (p. 1804; see the Perspective by Shimamoto, p. 1772) cloned a gene from rice, a monocot, that is responsible for resistance to a subtype of Xanthomonas oryzae. Virtually all food crop species are infected by some member of this genus of bacterial pathogens. The predicted protein product sequence is suggestive of a receptor kinase. The gene is one in a family of genes and bears a certain resemblance to the disease resistance genes recently identified in dicots.
