RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops

ABSTRACT Although RNA interference (RNAi) is widespread and functionally important across eukaryotes, RNAi pathways are diverse or even lost in some lineages. Rhizaria represents a major and distinct eukaryotic supergroup that includes Plasmodiophora brassicae (Pb), the causal agent of cruciferous clubroot disease, yet...

Gene editing of the transmembrane kinase SOAK1 fine-tunes reactive oxygen species production for enhanced disease resistance in potato.

An RLCK-V subfamily member in potato is reported, StSOAK1, which negatively regulates disease resistance to the oomycete Phytophthora infestans and the fungus Botrytis cinerea and reveals a regulatory mechanism of potato StRBOHB, which occurs in parallel with its paradigmatic AtPBL13-mediated regulation in Arabidopsis.
