Pacbio sequencing of copper-tolerant Xanthomonas citri reveals presence of a chimeric plasmid structure and provides insights into reassortment and shuffling of transcription activator-like effectors among X. citri strains

Table 3 TALEs and their RVDs from X. citri strains compared in this study with their location on respective plasmids
