Main ConclusionA wheat RPP13-like isoform interacting with WPP1 contributes to quantitative and/or basal resistance to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminisf. sp.tritici) by restricting the development ofBgtconidia.AbstractPlant disease resistance (R) genes confer an ability to resist infection by pathogens expressing specific avirulence genes. Recognition ofPeronospora parasitica13-like (RPP13-like) genes belong to the nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) superfamily and play important roles in resistance to various plant diseases. Previously, we detected aTaRPP13-like gene located on chromosome 3D (TaRPP13L1-3D) in theTaSpl1resided region, which is strongly induced by the cell death phenotype (Zhang et al. 2021). Here, we investigated the expression and functional role ofTaRPP13L1-3Din wheat responding to fungal stress.TaRPP13L1-3Dencoded a typical NB-ARC structure characterized by Rx-N and P-loop NTPase domains.TaRPP13L1-3Dtranscripts were strongly upregulated in wheat by powdery mildew (Blumeria graminisf. sp.tritici;Bgt) and stripe rust (Puccinia striiformisf. sp.tritici;Pst) infection although opposing expression patterns were observed in response to wheat-Bgtin incompatible and compatible backgrounds. Overexpression ofTaRPP13L1-3Denhanced disease resistance toBgt, accompanied by upregulation of the defense-related marker genes encoding phytoalexin-deficient4 (PAD4), thaumatin-like protein (TLP) and chitinase 8-like protein (Chi8L), while silencing ofTaRPP13L1-3Ddisrupted the resistance toBgtinfection. Subcellular localization studies showed that TaRPP13L1-3D is located in both the plasma membrane and nucleus, while yeast-two-hybrid (Y2H) assays indicated that TaRPP13L1-3D interacts with WPP domain-containing protein 1 (TaWPP1). This indicates that TaRPP13L1-3D shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm membrane via a mechanism that is mediated by the RanGAP-WPP complex in nuclear pores. This insight intoTaRPP13L1-3Dwill be useful in dissecting the mechanism of fungal resistance in wheat, and understanding the interaction betweenRgene expression and pathogen defense.
