R gene triplication confers European fodder turnip with improved clubroot resistance.

ABSTRACT: Clubroot is one of the most important diseases for many important cruciferous vegetables and oilseed crops worldwide. Different clubroot resistance (CR) loci have been identified from only limited species in Brassica, making it difficult to compare and utilize these loci. European fodder turnip ECD04 is considered one of the most valuable resources for CR breeding. To explore the genetic and evolutionary basis of CR in ECD04, we sequenced the genome of ECD04 using de novo assembly and identified 978 candidate R genes. Subsequently, the 28 published CR loci were physically mapped to 15 loci in the ECD04 genome, including 62 candidate CR genes. Among them, two CR genes, CRA3.7.1 and CRA8.2.4, were functionally validated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CRA3.7.1 and CRA8.2.4 originated from a common ancestor before the whole-genome triplication (WGT) event. In clubroot susceptible Brassica species, CR-gene homologues were affected by transposable element (TE) insertion, resulting in the loss of CR function. It can be concluded that the current functional CR genes in Brassica rapa and non-functional CR genes in other Brassica species were derived from a common ancestral gene before WGT. Finally, a hypothesis for CR gene evolution is proposed for further discussion.

Project description:Plasmodiophora brassicae causes clubroot disease in brassica crops worldwide. Brassica rapa, a progenitor of Brassica napus (canola), possesses important sources for resistance to clubroot. A doubled haploid (DH) population consisting of 84 DH lines were developed from a Backcross2 (BC2) plant through an interspecific cross of B. rapa turnip cv. ECD01 (resistant, R) with canola line DH16516 (susceptible, S) and then backcrossed with DH16516 as the recurrent parent. The DH lines and their parental lines were tested for resistance to four major pathotypes (3A, 3D, 3H, and 5X) of P. brassicae identified from canola. The R:S segregation ratio for pathotype 3A was 1:3, and 3:1 for pathotypes 3D, 3H, and 5X. From genotyping by sequencing (GBS), a total of 355.3 M short reads were obtained from the 84 DH lines, ranging from 0.81 to 11.67 M sequences per line. The short reads were aligned into the A-genome of B. napus "Darmor-bzh" version 4.1 with a total of 260 non-redundant single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites. Two quantitative trait loci (QTLs), Rcr10 ECD01 and Rcr9 ECD01 , were detected for the pathotypes in chromosomes A03 and A08, respectively. Rcr10 ECD01 and Rcr9 ECD01 were responsible for resistance to 3A, 3D, and 3H, while only one QTL, Rcr9 ECD01 , was responsible for resistance to pathotype 5X. The logarithm of the odds (LOD) values, phenotypic variation explained (PVE), additive (Add) values, and confidence interval (CI) from the estimated QTL position varied with QTL, with a range of 5.2-12.2 for LOD, 16.2-43.3% for PVE, 14.3-25.4 for Add, and 1.5-12.0 cM for CI. The presence of the QTLs on the chromosomes was confirmed through the identification of the percentage of polymorphic variants using bulked-segregant analysis. There was one gene encoding a disease resistance protein and 24 genes encoding proteins with function related to plant defense response in the Rcr10 ECD01 target region. In the Rcr9 ECD01 region, two genes encoded disease resistance proteins and 10 genes encoded with defense-related function. The target regions for Rcr10 ECD01 and Rcr9 ECD01 in B. napus were homologous to the 11.0-16.0 Mb interval of chromosome A03 and the 12.0-14.5 Mb interval of A08 in B. rapa "Chiifu" reference genome, respectively.
