Abstract
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) depends on its type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate type III secreted effectors (T3SEs), including transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) and non-transcription activator-like effectors (non-TALEs), into host cells. T3SEs can promote the colonization of Xoc and contribute to virulence by manipulating host cell physiology. We annotated 25 genes encoding non-TALEs in Xoc strain GX01, an isolate from Guangxi in the South China’s rice growing region. Through systematic mutagenesis of non-TALEs, we found that xopN, the virulence contribution of which was previously unknown for Xoc, significantly contributes to the virulence of Xoc GX01, as does avrBs2.
