To accomplish the infection cycle, plant viruses usually employ various pathogenic factors to inhibit host antiviral defense. Revealing pathogenic mechanisms conserved among different viruses is essential for developing broad-spectrum disease control. Here, we show that a class of independently evolved transcriptional repressors is widely present in different plant viruses. Despite the diverse sequences and different evolutionary origins, these transcriptional repressors all modulate JA signaling by inhibiting the transcriptional activation of OsMYC transcription factors, disassociating the OsMED25-OsMYC complex, and cooperating with OsJAZ to improve their transcriptional repression activity. This facilitates viral infection and enhances vector feeding. Our findings reveal key functions of the transcriptional repressors in plant viruses and shed light on the general mechanism of viral pathogenicity and vector transmission. Plant viruses employ diverse virulence strategies to achieve successful infection, but there are few known general strategies of viral pathogenicity and transmission used by widely different plant viruses. Here, we report a class of independently evolved virulence factors in different plant RNA viruses which possess active transcriptional repressor activity. Rice viruses in the genera Fijivirus, Tenuivirus, and Cytorhabdovirus all have transcriptional repressors that interact in plants with the key components of jasmonic acid (JA) signaling, namely mediator subunit OsMED25, OsJAZ proteins, and OsMYC transcription factors. These transcriptional repressors can directly disassociate the OsMED25-OsMYC complex, inhibit the transcriptional activation of OsMYC, and then combine with OsJAZ proteins to cooperatively attenuate the JA pathway in a way that benefits viral infection. At the same time, these transcriptional repressors efficiently enhanced feeding by the virus insect vectors by repressing JA signaling. Our findings reveal a common strategy in unrelated plant viruses in which viral transcriptional repressors hijack and repress the JA pathway in favor of both viral pathogenicity and vector transmission.
