摘要

Clubroot disease, caused by the obligate intracellular rhizarian protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, is devastating to cruciferous crops worldwide. Widespread field P.brassicae pathotypes frequently overcome the pathotype-specific resistance of modern varieties, posing a challenge for durable control of this disease. Here a genome-wide association study of 3 years of data comprising field clubroot phenotyping of 244 genome-resequenced Brassica napus accessions identified a strong association of β-1,3-glucan synthase-like 5 (GSL5) with clubroot susceptibility. GSL5 was evolutionarily conserved, and inactivation of GSL5 by genome editing in Arabidopsis, B.napus, Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea conferred broad-spectrum, high-level resistance to P.brassicae pathotypes without yield penalties in B.napus. GSL5 inactivation derepressed the jasmonic acid-mediated immunity during P.brassicae secondary infection, and this immune repression was possibly reinforced through stabilization of GSL5 by a P.brassicae effector, facilitating clubroot susceptibility. Our study provides durable resistance resources for cruciferous clubroot disease control and insights into plant resistance against intracellular eukaryotic phytopathogens.
