Three additional genes activated in common by strains that activate the ubiquitin carboxy‐terminal hydrolase (UCH) gene are activated by Tal2a. (a) Schematic diagram of the four genes activated in common by Xanthomonas oryzae strains that activate the UCH gene (Table S2). Genes are represented as block arrows oriented 5′ to 3′ and are not to scale. Introns are not depicted. Candidate effector‐binding elements (EBEs) for Tal2a are labelled with black triangles with the position indicated as in Fig. 2. (b) Expression of the genes in response to Tal2a or Tal2a missing its activation domain (Tal2aΔAD) assayed by quantitative real‐time reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), as described for Fig. 2. Experiments were repeated twice with similar results.
