Bacterial blight (BB) and bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), respectively, are the two most devastating bacterial diseases of rice worldwide. Both bacterial pathogens infect rice plants relying on type III secreted transcriptional activation-like effectors (TALEs) that bind to specific effector binding elements (EBEs) in the promoter of susceptibility (S) genes, and activate its expressions for disease development (Chen et al., 2010)
