 XopN was identified in a genetic screen, using a Tn//5//-based transposon construct harboring the coding sequence for the HR-inducing domain of AvrBs2, but devoid of the effectors' T3SS signal, that was randomly inserted into the genome of //X. campestris// pv. //vesicatoria// (//Xcv//) strain 85-10. The XopN::AvrBs2 fusion protein triggered a //Bs2//-dependent hypersensitive response (HR) in pepper leaves (Roden //et al//., 2004). XopN was identified in a genetic screen, using a Tn//5//-based transposon construct harboring the coding sequence for the HR-inducing domain of AvrBs2, but devoid of the effectors' T3SS signal, that was randomly inserted into the genome of //X. campestris// pv. //vesicatoria// (//Xcv//) strain 85-10.

-Type III-dependent secretion was confirmed using a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase reporter assay, with a Δ//hrpF// mutant strain serving as negative control (Roden //et al.//, 2004). XopR<sub>//Xoo//</sub> was confirmed to have a functional type III secretion signal using a reporter fusion with AvrBs1 (Zhao //et al.//, 2013). +Type III-dependent secretion was confirmed using a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase reporter assay, with a Δ//hrpF// mutant strain serving as negative control (Roden //et al.//, 2004). XopN<sub>//Xoo//13751</sub> was confirmed to have a functional type III secretion signal using a reporter fusion with AvrBs1 (Zhao //et al.//, 2013).

 Start codon of //xopN// was found downstream of a conserved cis-regulatory element, the plant-inducible promoter (PIP) box (TTCGG-N15-TTCTG). //xopN// is regulated by //hrpX// and //hrpG// genes (Jiang //et al//., 2008; Cheong //et al//., 2013). Start codon of //xopN// was found downstream of a conserved cis-regulatory element, the plant-inducible promoter (PIP) box (TTCGG-N15-TTCTG). //xopN// is regulated by //hrpX// and //hrpG// genes (Jiang //et al//., 2008; Cheong //et al//., 2013).
  
-qRT-PCR revealed that transcript levels of 15 out of 18 tested non-TAL effector genes (as well as the regulatory genes //hrpG// and //hrpX//) were significantly reduced in the //Xanthomonas oryzae// pv. //oryzae// Δ//xrvC// mutant compared with those in the wild-type strain PXO99<sup>A</sup> , but this did not apply to //xopN// (Liu //et al.//, 2016). +qRT-PCR revealed that transcript levels of 15 out of 18 tested non-TAL effector genes (as well as the regulatory genes //hrpG// and //hrpX//) were significantly reduced in the //Xanthomonas oryzae// pv. //oryzae// Δ//xrvC// mutant compared with those in the wild-type strain PXO99<sup>A</sup>, but this did not apply to //xopN// (Liu //et al.//, 2016).

   * XopN has been shown to be required for maximal pathogenicity of //X. axonopodis// pv. //punicae// (//Xap//) in pomegranate (Kumar and Mondal, 2013).

   * A Δ//xopN//–Δ//xopQ// double knock-out mutant in //X. phaseoli// pv. //manihotis// (//Xpm//) was less aggressive in the cassava host plant than its single mutation counterparts. In addition, //in planta// bacterial growth was reduced at 5 dpi in the double mutant with respect to the wild-type strain CIO151 and individual knock-out strains. The phenotype of the double mutant could be complemented when transforming a plasmid containing //xopQ//. These results confirmed that //xopN// and //xopQ //are functionally redundant in //Xpm// (Medina //et al.//, 2017).   * A Δ//xopN//–Δ//xopQ// double knock-out mutant in //X. phaseoli// pv. //manihotis// (//Xpm//) was less aggressive in the cassava host plant than its single mutation counterparts.
