Oomycete pathogens can secret hundreds of effectors into plant cells to interfere with plant immune system during infection. Here we identified a cytoplasmic RXLR effector from the most destructive pathogen of litchi, Peronophythora litchii, and named it as PlAvh202. PlAvh202 could suppress cell death triggered by INF1 and Avr3a/R3a in Nicotiana benthamiana, and was essential for P. litchii virulence. In addition, PlAvh202 also suppressed plant immune responses and promoted the susceptibility of N. benthamiana to Phytophthora capsici. Further research revealed that PlAvh202 could suppress ethylene (ET) production by targeting and destabilizing plant S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (SAMS), a key enzyme in ET biosynthesis pathway, in a 26S proteasome-dependent manner. Transient expression of LcSAMS3 induced ET production and enhanced plant resistance, whereas inhibition of ET biosynthesis promoted P. litchii infection, supporting that LcSAMS and ET positively regulate litchi immunity towards P. litchii. Overall, these findings highlight that SAMS can be targeted by oomycete RXLR effector to manipulate ET-mediated plant immunity.
