Reprogramming immunity: TAL effector-informed genome editing in rice and other crops
Reprogramming immunity: TAL effector-informed genome editing in rice and other crops
Bacterial type III effector proteins, particularly transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) secreted by Xanthomonas spp., play critical roles in pathogen-host dynamics. While TALEs facilitate bacterial infections, they also possess vulnerabilities that plants and scientists can exploit to develop mechanisms of resistance. This review encompasses the characteristics and functions of TALEs, examining both their virulence and avirulence roles, and the host plants' counter-strategies.
