ABSTRACT = {<i>Ustilaginoidea virens</i>, which causes rice false smut (RFS), is one of the
most detrimental rice fungal diseases and poses a severe threat to rice production
and quality. Effectors in <i>U. virens</i> often act as a group of essential virulence factors that play crucial roles in the interaction between host and the pathogen. Thus,
the functions of individual effectors in <i>U. virens</i> need to be further explored. Here,
we found a small secreted hypersensitive response-inducing protein
UVI_02019870 was highly conserved in fungi. Furthermore, we performed
Y2H and BiFC assay to demonstrated UVI_02019870 interacted with OsCPL1,
which was predicted as a chloroplast precursor to regulate chloroplast signaling
pathways. Our data provide a theory for gaining an insight into the molecular
mechanisms underlying the UVI_02019870 virulence function.},
