The bacterium in case of bacterial blight of rice enters through.

Answer 1

In the case of bacterial blight of rice, caused primarily by the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the bacteria typically enter the plant through natural openings such as the stomata or through wounds in the leaves. The infection can also be facilitated by water splashing, which helps spread the bacteria from infected to healthy plants. Proper management practices, including the use of resistant varieties and good sanitation, can help mitigate the spread of this disease.
