TAL effector driven induction of a SWEET gene confers susceptibility to bacterial blight of cotton

Transcription activator-like effectors contribute to virulence of theXanthomonas strain responsible for bacterial blight in cotton. Here Cox et al. show that the XanthomonasAvrb6 effector induces expression of the cotton SWEET10 sugar transporter and that this induction promotes disease.
