Powdery mildew is one of the most important crop diseases worldwide. Genetic analysis has revealed that mutant alleles of theMlogene cause broad-spectrum resistance against pathogens found in cereal. In this study, the possibility of inducing powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) resistance via transgenic technology in the rose was examined. The transgenic lines were confirmed for integration and copy number of the transgenes based on PCR and Southern blots. A clear correlation was found between resistance and the accumulation of silencedRhMLO1, based on real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and resistance analysis. Compared with the control plants, transgenic roses displayed higher resistance levels. Furthermore, the results indicated thatRhMLO1has a negative role in the rose–powdery mildew pathogen interaction. This demonstrates the potentially viable strategy of rendering theMlohomologs partially non-functional via a transgenic approach or mutagenesis in order to counter powdery mildew inRosa. To the best of our knowledge, this study is one of the first attempts at using aMlo-based resistance strategy to combat powdery mildew inRosa.
