The SAP54\/phyllogen-like effector SJP3 in jujube witches\u2019 broom (JWB) phytoplasmas interacts with and stabilizes the MADS-box protein SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE 3 (ZjSVP3), resulting in pistil reversion. Here, we further demonstrated that SJP3 induced leaf-like sepal formation by activating the ZjSVP1\u2013ZjSVP3 complex at multiple levels. Among the cascading events, SJP3-mediated ZjAP1 and ZjSEP3 degradation promoted ZjSVP1 expression. The miRNA396c\u2013ZjSVP1 pathway was a conserved mechanism through which SJP3 repressed miRNA396c and up-regulated ZjSVP1 expression. While ZjSVP3 escaped from the regulation of ZjAP1, ZjSEP3, and miRNA396c, interestingly, SJP3 exploited the escape and induced ZjSVP3 accumulation, resulting in continuous activation of the expression of ZjSVP1 and itself. ZjSVP3 interacted with ZjSVP1 to form a heterodimer. SJP3 directly targeted the ZjSVP1\u2013ZjSVP3 complex to induce the misexpression of SVP-binding motif-containing genes (such as ZjGATL1 and ZjLAC17) that contributed to the conversion of floral organs into leaf-like structures, in turn extending the tissue-to-tissue spread and colonization of JWB phytoplasmas. Overall, these results provide insight into the mechanism underlying the hijacking of the floral repressors ZjSVP1 and ZjSVP3 by the effector SJP3 to induce leaf-like sepal formation in perennial woody plant species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jxb\/erag419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T12:45:41Z","timestamp":1787921141000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A bacterial effector, SJP3, induces leaf-like sepal formation by hijacking SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE in plants"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1988-0637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fuli","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingsheng","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230001 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyue","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liping","family":"Zhai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyue","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaixue","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jia","family":"Si","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junyong","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230001 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qibao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230001 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7249-4466","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Horticultural Crop Quality Biology, College of Horticulture, Anhui Agricultural University , Hefei City, Anhui Province 230036 ,","place":["PR China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026092312073176500_erag419-B1","first-page":"117","volume-title":"Phytoplasmas.
