RNA helicases play crucial roles in RNA splicing, transport, editing and degradation, protein translation initiation and siRNA-mediated gene silencing. However, knowledge about their functionality in rapeseed (Brassica napus) is rare. In the study, we identified and annotated 271 RNA helicase genes fromB. napususing bioinformatics and high-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Three subfamilies DEAD-box, DEAH-box, or DExD/H-box have been identified. One hundred and ninety-five RNA helicases were confirmed by RNA-seq and 49 were identified to differentially respond to cadmium (Cd) stress (> 1.5 fold change,p <0.05). As an example, we functionally specifiedBnaA04g26450Dencoding aBnRH24under Cd exposure.BnRH24is a constitutive gene expressing throughout the life span. Using our previously generated degradome datasets, we found thatBnRH24can be cleaved by miR158, suggesting thatBnRH24is a target of miR158 inB. napus. The mature miR158 was induced, whileBnRH24was repressed inB. napusunder Cd stress. The contrasting expression pattern ofB. napusmiR158 andBnRH24under the normal and Cd would support the post-transcriptional regulation ofBnRH24by miR158. Ectopic expression ofBnRH24in Arabidopsis revealed that the transgenic lines showed more sensitivity to Cd toxicity by reducing root elongation, fresh mass production, chlorophyll accumulation and increasing oxidative products such as O2-., H2O2and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), indicating that the controlling the level ofBnRH24by miR158 may be required for Cd tolerance in plants.
