  abstract = {{N}on-coding small {RNA}s (s{RNA}) act as mediators of gene silencing and regulate plant growth, development and stress responses. {E}arly insights into plant s{RNA}s established a role in antiviral defense and they are now extensively studied across plant-microbe interactions. {H}ere, s{RNA} sequencing discovered a class of s{RNA} in rice ({O}ryza sativa) specifically associated with foliar diseases caused by {X}anthomonas oryzae bacteria. {X}anthomonas-induced small {RNA}s (xis{RNA}s) loci were distinctively upregulated in response to diverse virulent strains at an early stage of infection producing a single duplex of 20-22 nt s{RNA}s. xis{RNA}s production was dependent on the {T}ype {III} secretion system, a major bacterial virulence factor for host colonization. xis{RNA} loci overlap with annotated transcripts sequences, with about half of them encoding protein kinase domain proteins. {A} number of the corresponding rice cis-genes have documented functions in immune signaling and xis{RNA} loci predominantly coincide with the coding sequence of a conserved kinase motif. xis{RNA}s exhibit features of small interfering {RNA}s and their biosynthesis depend on canonical components {O}s{DCL}1 and {O}s{HEN}1. xis{RNA} induction possibly mediates post-transcriptional gene silencing but they do not broadly suppress cis-genes expression on the basis of m{RNA}-seq data. {O}verall, our results identify a group of unusual s{RNA}s with a potential role in plant-microbe interactions.},
