Stem and root rot caused by the oomycete pathogen,Phytophthora sojae,is a serious soybean disease. Use ofPhytophthoraresistance genes (Rps) in soybean cultivars has been very effective in controlling this pathogen. Resistance encoded byRpsgenes is manifested through activation of defense responses. In order to identify candidate signaling genes involved in the expression ofPhytophthoraresistance in soybean, a cDNA library was prepared from infected etiolated hypocotyl tissues of aPhytophthoraresistant soybean cultivar harvested 2 and 4 h followingP. sojaeinoculation.In silicosubtraction of 101,833 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) originating from unstressed cDNA libraries from 4,737 ESTs of this library resulted in identification of 204 genes that were absent in the unstressed libraries. Of the 204 identified genes, seven wereP. sojaegenes. Putative function of 91 of the 204 genes could not be assigned based on sequence comparison. Macroarray analyses of all 204 genes led to identification of 60 genes including 15 signaling-related soybean genes and threeP. sojaegenes, transcripts of which were induced twofold inP. sojae-infected tissues as compared to that in water controls. Eight soybean genes were down-regulated twofold followingP. sojaeinfection as compared to water controls. Differential expression of a few selected genes was confirmed by conducting Northern and RT-PCR analyses. We have shown that two putative regulators of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) family proteins were down-regulated in the incompatible interaction. This observation suggested that the nucleocytoplasmic transport function for trafficking protein and non-coding RNA is suppressed during expression of race-specificPhytophthoraresistance. Characterization of a cDNA library generated from tissues harvested almost immediately followingP. sojae-infection of a resistant cultivar allowed us to identify many candidate signaling genes that are presumably involved in regulating the expression of defense-related pathways for expression ofPhytophthoraresistance in soybean.
