Unravelling alternative splicing patterns in susceptible and resistant Brassica napus lines in response to Xanthomonas campestris infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil and industrial crop worldwide. Black rot caused by the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is an infectious vascular disease that leads to considerable yield losses in rapeseed. Resistance improvement through genetic breeding is an effective and sustainable approach to control black rot disease in B. napus. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Brassica-Xcc interactions are not yet fully understood, especially regarding the impact of post-transcriptional gene regulation via alternative splicing (AS).

Results

In this study, we compared the AS landscapes of a susceptible parental line and two mutagenized B. napus lines with contrasting levels of black rot resistance. Different types o
