Suppression of Xa1-like resistance unmasks TalI avirulence activity in the rice variety CT13432. A Leaves of CT13432 and Azucena plants were clip-inoculated with the Xoo strain BAI3 carrying the pKEB31 empty vector (EV), the BAI3ΔtalI mutant carrying the pKEB31 empty vector (EV), the BAI3 strain expressing the tal2h truncTALE, and BAI3ΔtalI expressing tal2h and the pSKX1 empty vector (EV), or pSKX1 containing talIBAI3, talIMAI1 or talIMAI1ΔAD. Lesion lengths were measured at 15 dpi. Data are the mean of eight measurements. B Bacterial counts were taken 7 dpi of rice leaves of CT13432 and Azucena inoculated with the same panel of Xoo strains used in (A). Statistical tests in both experiments were carried out in R using the nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn’s tests (α = 0.05). Values labeled with the same lower-case letter are not significantly different
