 === How discovered? ===
-//xopR// was firstly identified as a putative T3E ORF (XOO4134) shown to be under regulation of HrpX preceded by both a PIP box and a -10 box-like motif (Furutani //et al//., 2006). Later, translocation of XOO4134::Cya fusion proteins into plant cells were shown to occur via a T3SS (Furutani //et al//., 2009; White //et al//., 2009).

 === (Experimental) evidence for being a T3E ===
-Evidence for T3SS-dependent secretion and translocation of XopR into plant cells was mainly based on calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase (Cya) reporter assays of fusion proteins (Furutani //et al//., 2009).
+Evidence for T3SS-dependent secretion and translocation of XopR into plant cells was mainly based on calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase (Cya) reporter assays of fusion proteins (Furutani //et al.//, 2009). XopR<sub>//Xoo//13751</sub> was confirmed to have a functional type III secretion signal using a reporter fusion with AvrBs1 (Zhao //et al.//, 2013).
 === Regulation ===
-Functional studies using //hrp//-inducing and non-//hrp//-inducing media and reverse-transcriptase PCR in wild type and Xoo ∆//hrpX// mutants showed that the expression of //xopR// is //hrpX// dependent (Verma //et al//., 2019). These results are indirectly supported by previous findings showing that //X. oryza// pv. //oryza// (Xoo) deficient mutants for //xrvB//, a gene coding for a repressor of //hrp// gene expression, leads to an increase of XopR into plant cells (Kametani-Ikawa //et al//., 2011).

-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 //xopR// (Liu //et al.//, 2016).

 === Phenotypes ===
-In the last few years a comprehensive body of experimental evidence has been gathered supporting a multiple action of XopR in hampering host plant defenses, namely by fostering bacterial growth //in planta//, and suppressing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) triggered host plant immunity (PTI) (Akimoto-Tomiyama //et al//., 2012; Wang //et al//., 2016; Medina //et al//., 2018; Verma //et al//., 2018; Verma //et al//., 2019). In fact, early studies suggested that XopR suppress PAMP-triggered stomatal closure in transgenic //Arabidopsis// expressing XopR (Wang //et al//., 2016). More recently, when compared with a Xoo wild type strain, //xopR// deficient mutants (Xoo ∆x//opR//) infiltrated in rice leaves led to an increase of callose deposits, and a significant higher production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), namely of hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub> O<sub>2</sub>) and superoxide anion (O<sub>2</sub> <sup>-</sup>  ), known as the main components of the plant oxidative burst (reference FIXME ). Furthermore, reverse transcriptase expression analyses of eight rice genes linked to plant disease resistance (//BRI1//, //GST1//, //PR2//, //PR5//, //RAC1//, //SERK1//, //WRKY29// and //WRKY71//) were shown to be up-regulated in rice leaves inoculated with Xoo ∆x//opR// (Verma //et al//., 2018; Verma //et al//., 2019). To further support these findings, complementation of Xoo ∆x//opR// with //xopR// was able to restore the disease phenotype of the wild type Xoo strain (Verma //et al//., 2018; Verma //et al//., 2019).

+A //xopR// deletion mutant in the Chinese //Xoo// strain 13751 showed a significant reduction in virulence in hybrid rice cv. Teyou63 compared to the wild type (Zhao //et al.//, 2013). However, the growth of the mutant in host plant rice was not affected. These results indicated that //xopR// was required for full virulence of //Xoo// strain 13751 by inducing rice disease tolerance (Zhao //et al.//, 2013).

 === Localization ===
-Confocal microscopy studies of XopR::EYFP (enhanced yellow fluorescent protein) fusion protein transiently expressed in //Nicotiana benthaminiana//, suggested that XopR is localized to the plasma membrane of plant epidermal cells (Akimoto-Tomiyama //et al//., 2012; Verma //et al//., 2019). These results are further corroborate by findings assigning XopR localization to the plasma membrane of rice protoplasts, contrary to other effectors analysed, namely XopL XopV, XopC, and XopW, which were localized to the cytoplasm (Wang //et al//., 2016).

-Co-immunoprecipitation assays indicate that XopR associates with various receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs), including BIK1 known to be involved in pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) to triggered stomatal closure (Wang //et al//., 2016). //In vitro// kinase assays indicate that XopR is phosphorylated by BIK1 likely affecting BIK1 targets, and possibly impairing PAMP-triggered stomatal immunity (Wang //et al//., 2016).
