Bacterial transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) promote pathogenicity by activating host susceptibility (S) genes. To understand the and adaptation of Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum (Xcm), we assemble genome TALE repertoire three recent Xcm Texas isolates. A newly evolved TALE, Tal7b, activates GhSWEET14a GhSWEET14b, different from GhSWEET10 targeted a in an early isolate. Activation GhSWEET14b results water-soaked lesions. Transcriptome profiling coupled with TALE-binding...
Fusarium wilt caused by the ascomycete fungus oxysporum is a devastating disease of many economically important crops. The mechanisms underlying plant responses to F. infections remain largely unknown. We demonstrate here that water-soluble, heat-resistant and nonproteinaceous cell wall extract (FoCWE) component from multiple isolates functions as race-nonspecific elicitor, also termed pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP). FoCWE triggers several demonstrated immune responses,...
ABSTRACT Xanthomonas spp. employ transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) to promote pathogenicity by activating host susceptibility ( S ) genes. Cotton GhSWEET10 is an gene targeted a TALE in early isolate of citri pv. malvacearum Xcm ), but not recent field isolates. To understand the shift and its adaptation cotton, we assembled whole genome repertoire three Texas A newly evolved TALE, Tal7b, activated different GhSWEET genes, GhSWEET14a GhSWEET14b . Simultaneous activation resulted...
