Transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors targetingOsSWEETgenes enhance virulence on diverse rice (Oryza sativa) varieties when expressed individually in a TAL effector-deficient strain ofXanthomonas oryzae

Addition of transcription activator-like effector binding sites to a pathogen strain-specific rice bacterial blight resistance gene makes it effective against additional strains and against bacterial leaf streak
