Bacterial panicle blight (BPB), caused by Burkholderia glumae and B. gladioli , is a major threat to rice in Malaysia, with potential yield losses up to 75%. In June 2021, BPB symptoms were detected in Kedah rice fields. Isolates were identified through phenotypic traits, pathogenicity tests, and molecular analysis (16S rRNA and gyrB sequencing). Whole-genome sequencing of B. glumae K6 and B. gladioli UPMBG7 was performed usin...
