A multigene family encoding HLK effectors is well conserved in all Ralstonia solanacearum strains. The HLK family contains three paralogous members. We constructed single, double, and triple deletion mutants of hlk genes in R. solanacearum strain OE1-1 and characterized HLK effectors by comparing the phenotypes of the strains. HLK effectors exhibited some functional redundancy. While the triple deletion mutant was significantly impaired in virulence on tomato and multiplied less efficiently than the wild type in the leaves, the mutant was as virulent as the wild type on eggplant and tobacco.
