Pan-Genome Analysis of Effectors in Korean Strains of the Soybean Pathogen Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines.

ABSTRACT: Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines is a major pathogen of soybean in Korea. Here, we analyzed pathogenicity genes based on a comparative genome analysis of five Korean strains and one strain from the United States, 8ra. Whereas all six strains had nearly identical profiles of carbohydrate-active enzymes, they varied in diversity and number of candidate type III secretion system effector (T3SE) genes. The five Korean strains were similar in their effectors, but differed from the 8ra strain. Across the six strains, transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) showed diverse repeat sizes and at least six forms of the repeat variable di-residue (RVD) sequences, with differences not correlated with the origin of the strains. However, a phylogenetic tree based on the alignment of RVD
