Summary of TALome characteristics and transcription activator‐like effector (TALE)‐related offence and defence strategies (from left to right). The tree shows phylogenetic relations of various Xanthomonas, together with other TALE‐like carrying bacteria, based on average nucleotide identity. Taxa highlighted in grey indicate cases in which no TALE was found in the currently available genomic data; in the other taxa, at least one strain is known to carry at least one TALE. The preferred hosts for each bacterium are shown. The characteristics of TALEs from these groups (TALome size, repeat identity or location) were obtained from the literature or from genomic sequences in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) gene bank. The range of pairwise repeat nucleotide identity was calculated from representative strains in each group. An asterisk indicates cases in which the genomic location for some TALEs could not be determined as they are found in draft genome contigs or metagenomic sequences. ‘X’ indicates the presence of TALE remnant sequences. The ‘Susceptibility’ and ‘Defence’ bar plots indicate the number of reported occurrences of these strategies for each group. Virulence TALEs include all unique TALEs for which a role in virulence has been proposed, including those TALEs for which no S gene targets have been found, but an associated phenotype has been reported. The ‘Counter‐defence’ bar indicates whether any of the mechanisms have been reported in each group. Some TALE‐containing groups were omitted from the figure for brevity or insufficient genomic data, including X. alfalfae, X. theicola, X. hyacinthi and X. citri pv. mangiferaeindicae (Jacques et al., 2016).
