Xanthomonas citri ssp. citri variant A<sup>T</sup> (X. citri A<sup>T</sup> ) triggers a host-specific hypersensitive response (HR) that suppresses citrus canker development. However, the bacterial effector that elicits this process is unknown. In this study, we show that a 7.5-repeat TALE is ...[more]
