Transposon Tn4431 was used to introduce a luciferase (lux) operon into Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (X. o. pv. oryzae) T7174. Two transconjugants which were highly bioluminescent and indistinguishable in pathogenicity with the parental strain were selected. The transconjugants produced more bioluminescence in the logarithmic phase in liquid cultures. Bioluminescence was also detected from rice leaves infected with the transconjugants. In the compatible rice cultivar IR24 bacteria multiplied and moved prior to the expression of disease symptoms. In contrast, in the incompatible rice cultivar IR-BB2, which has resistance genes Xa1 and Xa2, bioluminescence was restricted near the inoculation sites, but light produced by the transconjugants was detected even 3 weeks after inoculation, suggesting that bacteria could multiply, although restrictedly, and remain viable. No bacterium was reisolated from the leaf sections beyond the light-producing regions. The detection of bioluminescence makes it possible to examine the actual location or infection process of X. o. pv. oryzae continuously without destroying the infected leaves.
