An ERF transcription factor from Brassica oleracea: a new member of the emerging pathogenicity hub in plant-Xanthomonas interactions
Journal: bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
Year: 2020

Summary - TAL effectors (TALEs), which induce the expression of specific plant genes to promote infection, are the main pathogenic determinants of different Xanthomonas bacteria. However, investigation of TALEs from Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris , which causes black rot disease of crucifers, is in its infancy. - In this study, we used PCR-based amplification in conjunction with SMRT amplicon sequencing to identify TALE genes in several Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris strains and pe
