Phytophthora sojaeis a destructive pathogen of soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] which causes stem and root rot on soybean plants worldwide. However, the pathogenesis and molecular mechanism of plant defence responses againstP. sojaeare largely unclear. Herein, we document the underlying mechanisms and function of a novel BTB/POZ protein, GmBTB/POZ, which contains a BTB/POZ domain found in certain animal transcriptional regulators, in host soybean plants in response toP. sojae. It is located in the cell nucleus and is transcriptionally up‐regulated byP. sojae. Overexpression ofGmBTB/POZin soybean resulted in enhanced resistance toP. sojae. The activities and expression levels of enzymatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) antioxidants were significantly higher inGmBTB/POZ‐overexpressing (GmBTB/POZ‐OE) transgenic soybean plants than in wild‐type (WT) plants treated with sterile water or infected withP. sojae. The transcript levels of defence‐associated genes were also higher in overexpressing plants than in WT on infection. Moreover, salicylic acid (SA) levels and the transcript levels of SA biosynthesis‐related genes were markedly higher inGmBTB/POZ‐OE transgenic soybean than in WT, but there were almost no differences in jasmonic acid (JA) levels or JA biosynthesis‐related gene expression betweenGmBTB/POZ‐OE and WT soybean lines. Furthermore, exogenous SA application induced the expression ofGmBTB/POZand inhibited the increase inP. sojaebiomass in both WT andGmBTB/POZ‐OE transgenic soybean plants. Taken together, these results suggest that GmBTB/POZ plays a positive role inP. sojaeresistance and the defence response in soybean via a process that might be dependent on SA.
