摘要: Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), the causative agent of kiwifruit canker disease, poses significant threats to global kiwifruit production, resulting in substantial economic losses. Disease incidence is notably higher under cooler temperatures (<20 degrees C), yet the molecular mechanisms underlying Psa's temperature-dependent virulence remain poorly understood. Here, we identify RS16350, encoding a heat shock protein homolog, as a positive regulator of Psa pathogenicity specifically at low temperature (16 degrees C) but not at optimal growth temperature (28 degrees C). Mechanistic studies reveal that RS16350 physically interacts with HrpL, the RpoN-dependent sigma factor controlling type III secretion system (T3SS) expression in Psa. This interaction enhances HrpL's binding affinity to the hrp-box promoter element, thereby upregulating T3SS effector genes and increasing virulence. We designate this novel regulator as TrpR2 (temperature-responsive pathogenic regulator 2). These findings provide molecular insights into temperature-modulated virulence in a key plant pathogen and identify potential targets for developing innovative disease control strategies.
