Cloning of the rice Xo1 resistance gene and interaction of the Xo1 protein with the defense-suppressing Xanthomonas effector Tal2h

This study identifies the Xo1 resistance gene in rice and shows its interaction with the Xanthomonas effector Tal2h, revealing a mechanism of defense suppression.

A TAL effector-like protein of symbiotic Mycetohabitans increases stress tolerance and alters the transcriptome of the fungal host Rhizopus microsporus

The paper identifies a bacterial TAL-like effector that alters the transcriptome of its fungal host and enhances stress tolerance.
