Suppression of Xo1-mediated disease resistance in rice by a truncated, non-DNA-binding TAL effector of Xanthomonas oryzae

Delivered into plant cells by type III secretion from pathogenic Xanthomonas species, TAL (transcription activator-like) effectors are nuclear-localized, DNA-binding proteins that directly activate specific host genes. Targets include genes important for disease, genes that confer resistance, and ge...
