AbstractTranscription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are major virulence factors of Xanthomonas oryzae, the causal agent of bacterial blight in rice. The BED-domain nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptor Xa1 confers resistance by recognizing TALEs, but the mechanisms underlying Xa1 activation…
