Disarming the Pathogen's Metabolic Weapon: A Novel Route to Durable Disease Resistance

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
Two routes to sugar acquisition in pathogenic bacteria and corresponding ‘pathogen‐starvation’ strategies. TAL effectors activate plant SWEET transporters to promote sucrose efflux into the apoplast, which can be blocked by editing SWEET promoter effector‐binding elements to prevent TAL binding. The T3E AvrBs2 converts host UDP‐galactose into xanthosan,
