TALE-induced immunity against the bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in rice

Abstract Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are proteins produced by plant pathogenic Xanthomonas spp. TALEs exhibit a conserved structure and have the ability to directly bind promoter region of host target genes where they activate transcription. in oryzae pv. ( Xoo ), causal agent bacterial blight (BB) rice, play important roles triggering resistance (ETI) susceptibility (ETS) for rice immunity. This review briefly describes breeding China, TALE properties their roles, BB R ) S arms-race between TALE-targets, strategies disease-resistant crops. A systematic overview complex presented along with ongoing efforts breed crops durable broad-spectrum bacterium.
