Xa1-2- and Xa14-Mediated Resistance Can Be Attenuated by iTALEs.
(A) Lesion length analysis of IR24, IRBB1, IRBB2, and IRBB14 plants after inoculation.
(B) Lesion length analysis of ZH11 and transgenic lines carrying Xa1, Xa1-2, and Xa14 after inoculation.
All the plants were inoculated with Xoo strains PXO99 and PB, a mutant in which both iTALEs are knocked out. The letter “a” indicates a significant difference between the two treatments at P < 0.01.
