Phytophthora capsici is a damaging pathogen with a wide host range, causing devastating diseases such as root rot, stem rot, leaf and fruit rot in plants from diverse families like Solanaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Legumes. The diseases pose a significant threat to the sustainability of related agricultural industries. In this study, we identified a key RXLR effector, Pc13306, from the RXLR effector repertoire of P. capsici. The coding region of Pc13306 comprised 888 nucleotides, encoding 295 amino acids, with a conserved RXLR motif residing at positions 34-37 in the N-terminal region. Utilizing a yeast secretion system, we confirmed that the signal peptide of Pc13306 exhibited robust secretory activity. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that Pc13306 was specifically upregulated during the late stages of P. capsici infection. Through agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation of Nicotiana benthamiana Pc13306 was demonstrated to significantly enhance lesion expansion and pathogen biomass accumulation, thereby improving infection efficiency. Moreover, Pc13306 induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts and hypersensitive response (HR). Further exploration into the regulatory mechanism of Pc13306 in plant immunity revealed that it activated the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway and autophagy processes. Notably, Pc13306 markedly upregulated the expression of core genes involved in pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), indicating its role in modulating plant immune responses. The findings would provide insights into the interaction mechanisms between P. capsici and its host, and facilitate the development of targeted disease control strategies focusing on effectors.
