Abstract: Rice blast and blight, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) and the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) respectively, are the most destructive diseases of rice in the world. The interactions between rice-M. oryzae and rice-Xoo have become model systems in the study of plant- pathogen interactions. In this review, the author summarized recent research on the structure and function of isolated resistance genes to M. oryzae and Xoo, a number of novel identified pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and effectors related to M. oryzae and Xoo, and PAMP- and effector-triggered rice immunity responses and signaling transduction mediated by M. oryzae or Xoo, suggesting that the interactions between avirulence effectors and their cognate resistance proteins could provide new insights into the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions, especially useful for rice breeding against M. oryzae and Xoo.
