Open AccessIdentification of putative TAL effector targets of the citrus canker pathogens shows functional convergence underlying disease development and defense response
Transcriptional activator-like (TAL) effectors, formerly known as the AvrBs3/PthA protein family, are DNA-binding effectors broadly found in Xanthomonas spp. that transactivate host genes upon injection via the b...
