Identification and expression analysis of EDR1-like genes in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) in response to Golovinomyces orontii.

ABSTRACT: ENHANCED DISEASE RESISTANCE1 (EDR1) encodes a Raf-like mitogen-activated protein kinase, and it acts as a negative regulator of disease resistance and ethylene-induced senescence. Mutations in the EDR1 gene can enhance resistance to powdery mildew both in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. However, little is known about EDR1-like gene members from a genome-wide perspective in plants. In this study, the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)EDR1-like gene family was first systematically analyzed. We identified 19 EDR1-like genes in tobacco, and compared them to those from Arabidopsis, tomato and rice. Phylogenetic analyses divided the EDR1-like gene family into six clades, among them monocot and dicot plants were respectively divi
