The TALE effector PthA4 of <i>Xanthomonas citri</i> subsp. <i>citri</i> indirectly activates an expansin gene <i>CsEXP2</i> and an endoglucanase <i>CsEG1</i> via CsLOB1 to cause citrus canker symptoms

Abstract excerpt
Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is an important citrus disease worldwide. PthA4 is the most important pathogenicity gene of Xcc and encodes a transcription activator like effector (TALE) secreted by the type III secretion system. PthA4 is known to activate the expression of CsLOB1 , the canker susceptibility gene and a transcription factor, to cause citrus canker symptoms. Extensive...
