devastating diseases on crops. Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are delivered
by a type III secretion system (T3SS) of Xanthomonas into plant nuclei to directly bind
specific DNA sequences (TAL effector-binding elements, EBEs) on either strand of host
target genes with an unique modular DNA-binding domain and to bidirectionally drive host
gene transcription. The target genes in plants consist of host susceptibility (S) genes …
