Major TALEs prediction in Pakistani-Xoo strains. The assignment of the major TALEs was based on the virulence assessment of Xoo strains upon inoculation into Near-Isogenic Lines (NILs) harboring resistance genes or edited susceptibility genes in cv. IR24 and Kitaake, defining the relative contributions of multiple avirulence/virulence effectors. At the top, parsimony tree was generated using the NTSYSpc-2.02e, and all the Xoo genotypes including reference strains were clustered into 6 groups (1–6 in red fonts). The estimated avirulence/virulence TAL effectors carried by the genotypes/strains are shown in the table. The representative reference strains are orange highlighted and genotypes are shown at the bottom
