Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating necrotrophic plant pathogen with worldwide distribution. Cell wall-degrading enzymes and oxalic acid are important to the virulence of this pathogen. Here, we report a novel secretory protein Ss-Rhs1 that is essential for the virulence of S. sclerotiorum. Ss-Rhs1 is believed to contain a typical signal peptide at the N-terminal and eight rearrangement hotspot (Rhs) repeats. Ss-Rhs1 exhibited high-level expression at the initial stage of sclerotial development as well as during the hyphal infection process. Targeted silencing of Ss-Rhs1 resulted in abno...
