ABSTRACT
Downy mildew caused by the obligate parasite Hyaloperonospora brassicae is a devastating disease for Brassica species. Infection of Hyaloperonospora brassicae often leads to yellow spots on leaves, which significantly impacts quality and yield of pakchoi. In the present study, we conducted a comparative transcriptome between the resistant and susceptible pakchoi cultivars in response to Hyaloperonospora brassicae infection. A total of 1073 disease-resistance-related differentially expressed genes were identified using a Venn diagram. The Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses revealed that these genes were mainly involved in plant-pathogen interaction, plant hormone signal transduction, and other photosynthesis-related metabolic processes. Analysis of the phytohormone content revealed that salicylic acid increased significantly in the resistant material after inoculation with Hyaloperonospora brassicae, whereas the contents of jasmonic acid, abscisic acid, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid decreased. Exogenous salicylic acid treatment also significantly upregulated Hyaloperonospora brassicae-induced genes, which further confirmed a crucial role of salicylic acid during pakchoi defense against Hyaloperonospora brassicae. Based on these findings, we suggest that the salicylic-acid-mediated signal transduction contributes to the resistance of pakchoi to downy mildew, and PAL1, ICS1, NPR1, PR1, PR5, WRKY70, WRKY33, CML43, CNGC9, and CDPK15 were involved in this responsive process. Our findings evidently contribute to revealing the molecular mechanism of pakchoi defense against Hyaloperonospora brassicae.
