“…In 2020, its global output was estimated to be worth 14 billion USD (Hernández-Martínez et al, 2023). Xanthomonas fragariae ( Xaf ) causes bacterial angular leaf spot (ALS) in strawberries, which is one of the most severe diseases for this fruit crop (EPPO, 2023; Kim et al, 2016; Roach et al, 2016; Wang & Turechek, 2016). Recently, we isolated a Xaf new strain, YL19, which was observed to cause both typical ALS symptoms in leaves and dry cavity rot in the crown of strawberries, the first Xaf strain has both these effects in strawberries (Li et al, 2021; Wang et al, 2023).…”

“…Initially, it causes water-soaked spots on the leaves which later turn translucent and contiguous patches of lesions. The pathogen then spreads systematically to other parts of the plant, including the crowns and runners, even if no apparent symptoms are present (Luiz et al, 2022; EPPO, 2023; Bestfleisch et al, 2015; Wang et al, 2023). Thus, it is essential for studying how Xaf infect strawberries through stomata to develop effective management strategies.…”

Xanthomonas fragariae(Xaf) usually causes angular leaf spot (ALS) in strawberry all over the world. Recently, we isolated a new strain ofXafcalledXafYL19. This strain causes not only typical ALS symptoms, but also dry cavity rot in the crown tissues of strawberries. This was the first time aXafstrain had both of these effects in strawberries. Pathogen effectors play a crucial role in plant colonization and infection. Understanding how effector proteins escape from plant surveillance is important for plant breeding and resistance deployment. In this study, thirty-three putative effectors were predicted inXafYL19, and a virulent secreted effector called XopK was identified. XopK has a robust capacity for suppressing plant cell death and transcript response to infection host. Transgenic strawberries expressing XopK exhibit more susceptibility toXafYL19, and this was associated with weakened stomatal immunity. Additionally abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation and signaling were mainly suppressed in the presence of XopK. XopK also inhibited ABA- and methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-induced stomatal closure, and ABA- but not MeJA-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Moreover, endogenous ABA is critical forXaf-induced ROS burst and stomatal closure. These results suggested thatXafYL19 uses XopK to suppress JA, especially ABA signaling, for disrupting stomatal closure, and allowing its colonization for disease development. Taken together, our results provide a novel virulent mechanism byXafand an available strategy for resistant breeding in strawberries.
