The root meristem growth factor BrRGF6 positively regulates Chinese cabbage to infection of clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora Brassicae.

ABSTRACT: Chinese cabbage has a high annual demand in China. However, clubroot disease caused by the infection of Plasmodiophora brassicae seriously affects its yield. Transcriptome analysis identified a root meristem growth factor 6 (BrRGF6) as significantly up-regulated in Chinese cabbage roots infected with Plasmodiophora brassicae. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization analysis showed higher BrRGF6 expression in susceptible materials than in resistant materials. After Plasmodiophora brassicae infection, BrRGF6 expression was significantly up-regulated, especially in susceptible materials. Gene function analysis showed that the roots of Arabidopsis mutant rgf6 grew faster than the wild-
