The oomycete pathogenPhytophthora sojaeis a causal agent of soybean root rot. Upon colonization of soybeans,P. sojaesecretes various RXLR effectors to suppress host immune responses, supporting successful infection. Previous research has demonstrated that the RXLR effector Avh94 functions as a virulence effector, but the molecular mechanism underlying its role in virulence remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Avh94 overexpression in plants and pathogens promotesPhytophthorainfection. Avh94 interacts with soybean JAZ1/2, which is a repressor of jasmonic acid (JA) signaling. Avh94 stabilizes JAZ1/2 to inhibit JA signaling and silencing ofJAZ1/2enhances soybean resistance againstP. sojae. Moreover,P. sojaelines overexpressingAvh94inhibit JA signaling. Furthermore, exogenous application of methyl jasmonate improves plant resistance toPhytophthora. Taken together, these findings suggest thatP. sojaeemploys an RXLR effector to hijack JA signaling and thereby promote infection.
