Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Two X. translucens isolates collected in Colorado in 2018 are more aggressive on current wheat and barley varieties than older isolates.
- Observation Isolate CO236 from barley belongs to pathovar translucens (Xtt).
- Observation Isolate CO237 from wheat belongs to pathovar undulosa (Xtu).
- Observation At whole-genome level, there were no obvious genomic structural changes between Xtt CO236 and Xtu CO237 and other published pathovar genomes.
- Observation Putative type III effectors were highly conserved among all available Xtu isolate genomes.
- Observation Striking differences exist in the presence and sequence of TAL effectors between Xtu CO237 and published undulosa genomes.
- Association The TAL effector differences correlate with isolate virulence.
