ABSTRACT
Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) secretes a suite of effectors into host plants via the type III secretion system (T3SS), modulating plant immunity defenses. Strain Xcc8004 causes black rot in brassica plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana, making it a classical model for the study of Xanthomonas pathogenesis. XopLXcc8004 was defined as a T3SS effector (T3SE) since its homologues XopLXcv85-10 from Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv85-10) contribute to virulence in host plants. Except for its virulence on Chinese radish plants, little was previously known about the regulation and function of XopLXcc8004. Here, we tested the role of XopLXcc8004 in the pathogenicity of Xcc8004 on different host plants including Arabidopsis. We found that it was required for full virulence of Xcc8004 in Chinese cabbage. XopLXcc8004 promoted bacterial infection in Arabidopsis and suppressed bacterial flagellin (flg22)-induced FRK1 transcription, reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst, callose deposition, and pathogenesis-related marker gene expression, but it did not affect mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) cascade. Early and prolonged expression of XopLXcc8004 affected Arabidopsis growth and development. We demonstrated that XopLXcc8004 is a virulence factor and interferes with innate immunity of Arabidopsis by suppressing pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) signaling, independent of MAPKs.
