Response of Brassica napus to Plasmodiophora brassicae Involves Salicylic Acid-Mediated Immunity: An RNA-Seq-Based Study.

ABSTRACT: Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important disease of the Brassicaceae and poses a significant threat to the $26.7 billion canola/oilseed rape (Brassica napus) industry in western Canada. While clubroot is managed most effectively by planting resistant host varieties, new pathotypes of P. brassicae have emerged recently that can overcome this resistance. Whole genome analyses provide both a toolbox and a systemic view of molecular mechanisms in host-pathogen interactions, which can be used to design new breeding strategies to increase P. brassicae resistance. We used RNA-seq to evaluate differential gene expression at 7, 14 and 21 days after inoculation (dai) of two B. napus genotypes with differential responses to
