The oomycetePhytophthora infestansis the causal agent of potato late blight, one of the most devastating pathogens for potato. To investigate the plant mechanisms for resistance againstP. infestans, the Solanaceae model plantNicotiana benthamianawas employed in this study. Previously, we reported that NbNup75, a nuclear pore complex protein, is required for the resistance againstP. infestans, suggesting that nuclear-pore-mediated transport is involved in the induction of defense responses. In this study, we investigated the role ofN. benthamianaexportin 1NbXpo1in disease resistance. Mammalian and yeast exportin 1 proteins are known as a regulator for nuclear-pore-mediated export of proteins and RNAs.NbXpo1-silencedN. benthamianashowed minor growth defects and significantly decreased resistance toP. infestans. Gene silencing ofNbXpo1compromised defense responses induced by the elicitor INF1 (a secretory protein ofP. infestans), such as production of the phytoalexin capsidiol and induction of cell death. InNbXpo1-silenced plants, the genes for capsidiol biosynthesis,NbEAS, and defense-related MAP kinase,NbWIPK, were significantly downregulated, while genes encoding the plant defensin,NbPDF, and anti-microbial protein thionin,NbTHI, were upregulated. These results indicate thatN. benthamianaXpo1 is involved in activating a specific group of defense-related genes.
