The TALE effector PthA4 of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri indirectly activates an expansin gene CsEXP2 and an endoglucanase CsEG1 via CsLOB1 to cause citrus canker symptoms
The paper identifies CsEXP2 and CsEG1 as downstream targets of CsLOB1, activated indirectly by Xcc's PthA4, leading to citrus canker symptoms.
