Genome editing technology has rapidly evolved to knock-out genes, create targeted genetic
variation, install precise insertion/deletion and single nucleotide changes, and perform large …

The development of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-
associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) system has provided precise and efficient strategies to …

Gene expression levels in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and other plant species are determined by
the promoters, which directly control phenotypic characteristics. As essential components of …

Executor (E) genes comprise a new type of plant resistance (R) genes, identified from host–
Xanthomonas interactions. The Xanthomonas-secreted transcription activation-like effectors …

Climate change has significantly affected agriculture production, particularly the rice crop
that is consumed by almost half of the world's population and contributes significantly to …

Abstract The Gram-negative bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the causative agent
of bacterial leaf blight (BLB), received attention for being an economically damaging …

Xanthomonas species colonize many host plants and cause huge losses worldwide.
Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are secreted by Xanthomonas and translocated …

Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), is a major
bacterial disease in rice. Transcription activator‐like effectors (TALEs) from Xanthomonas …

Downy Mildew Resistance 6-like (DMR6-like) genes are identified as salicylic acid (SA)
hydroxylases and negative regulators of plant immunity. Previously, we identified two rice …

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world, and its yield restricts global food
security. However, various diseases and pests of rice pose a great threat to food security …
