Bacterial Leaf Blight of rice (BLB) caused by
Xanthomonas oryzae
pv.
oryzae
(
Xoo
) is a major threat for food security in many rice growing countries including Burkina Faso, where the disease was first reported in the 1980’s. In line with the intensification of rice cultivation in West-Africa, BLB incidence has been rising for the last 15 years. West-African strains of
Xoo
differ from their Asian counterparts as they (i) are genetically distant, (ii) belong to new races and, (iii) contain reduced repertoires of Transcription Activator Like (TAL) effector genes. In order to investigate the evolutionary dynamics of
Xoo
populations in Burkina Faso, 177 strains were collected from 2003 to 2018 in three regions where BLB is occurring. Multilocus VNTR Analysis (MLVA-14) targeting 10 polymorphic loci discriminated 24 haplotypes and showed that
Xoo
populations were structured according to their geographical localization and year of collection. Considering their major role in
Xoo
pathogenicity, we assessed the TAL effector repertoires of the 177 strains upon RFLP-based profiling. Surprisingly, an important diversity was revealed with up to eight different RFLP patterns. Finally, comparing neutral vs.
tal
effector gene diversity allowed to suggest scenarios underlying the evolutionary dynamics of
Xoo
populations in Burkina Faso, which is key to rationally guide the deployment of durably resistant rice varieties against BLB in the country.
