Abstract excerpt
AvrXa7 is a member of the avBs3/pthA gene family and the only known type III secretion system effector gene from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae with a major contribution to bacterial growth and lesion formation in bacterial blight disease of rice. We examined the general requirement for effectors of the AvrBs3/PthA family in bacterial blight of rice by identifying effectors from diverse strains of the pathogen....
