  abstract = {{M}ain conclusion {T}his study revealed novel insights into the function of {MSP}18 effector during root-knot nematode parasitism in rice roots. {MSP}18 may modulate host immunity and enhance plant susceptibility to {M}eloidogyne spp. {R}ice ({O}ryza sativa) production is seriously impacted by root-knot nematodes ({RKN}), including {M}eloidogyne graminicola, {M}eloidogyne incognita, and {M}eloidogyne javanica, in upland and irrigated culture systems. {S}uccessful plant infection by {RKN} is likely achieved by releasing into the host cells some effector proteins to suppress the activation of immune responses. {H}ere, we conducted a series of functional analyses to assess the role of the {M}eloidogyne-secreted protein ({MSP}) 18 from {M}. incognita ({M}i-{MSP}18) during rice infection by {RKN}. {D}evelopmental expression profiles of {M}. javanica and {M}. graminicola showed that the {MSP}18 gene is up-regulated throughout nematode parasitic stages in rice. {R}eproduction of {M}. javanica and {M}. graminicola is enhanced in rice plants overexpressing {M}i-{MSP}18, indicating that the {M}i-{MSP}18 protein facilitates {RKN} parasitism. {T}ransient expression assays in onion cells suggested that {M}i-{MSP}18 is localized to the cytoplasm of the host cells. {I}n tobacco, {M}i-{MSP}18 suppressed the cell death induced by the {INF}1 elicitin, suggesting that {M}i-{MSP}18 can interfere with the plant defense pathways. {T}he data obtained in this study highlight {M}i-{MSP}18 as a novel {RKN} effector able to enhance plant susceptibility and modulate host immunity.},
