Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop, feeding more than 50% of the world's population.
Diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens constantly threaten the rice …

Xanthomonads are bacterial plant pathogens that cause diseases on many plant species,
including important crops. Key to pathogenicity of most Xanthomonas pathovars is a Hrp …

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are sequence-specific DNA binding proteins
found in a range of plant pathogenic bacteria, where they play important roles in host …

Because they are obligate intracellular parasites, all viruses are exclusively and intimately
dependent upon host cells for replication. Viruses, in turn, induce profound changes within …

Regulation of gene expression is critical in determining cell identity, development, and
responses to the cellular environment. DNA is the inherited source of genetic information …

The assembly of transcription complexes on eukaryotic promoters involves a series of steps,
