Key messageThe BnaNPR1-like gene family was identified inB. napus,and it was revealed that repression of BnaNPR1 significantly reduces resistance toS. sclerotiorum,intensifies ROS accumulation, and changes the expression of genes associated with SA and JA/ET signaling in response to this pathogen.AbstractTheNONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1(NPR1) and relatedNPR1-likegenes play an important role in regulating plant defense. Oilseed rape (Brassica napusL.) is an important oilseed crop; however, little is known about theB. napus(Bna)NPR1-likegene family. Here, a total of 19BnaNPR1-likegenes were identified in theB. napusgenome, and then named according to their respective best match inArabidopsis thaliana(At), which led to the determination ofB. napushomologs of everyAtNPR1-likegene. Analysis of important protein domains and functional motifs indicated the conservation and variation among these homologs. Phylogenetic analysis of these BnaNPR1-like proteins and theirArabidopsishomologs revealed six distinct sub-clades, consequently indicating that their name classification totally conformed to their phylogenetic relationships. Further,B. napustranscriptomic data showed that the expression of threeBnaNPR1swas significantly down-regulated in response to infection withSclerotinia sclerotiorum, the most important pathogen of this crop, whereasBnaNPR2/3/4/5/6sdid not show the expression differences in general. Further, we generatedB. napus BnaNPR1-RNAi lines to interpret the effect of the down-regulated expression ofBnaNPR1son resistance toS. sclerotiorum. The results showed thatBnaNPR1-RNAi significantly decreased this resistance. Further experiments revealed thatBnaNPR1-RNAi intensified ROS production and changed defense responses in the interaction of plants with this pathogen. These results indicated thatS. sclerotiorummight useBnaNPR1to regulate specific physiological processes ofB. napus, such as ROS production and SA defense response, for the infection.
