Genetic breakthroughs in the Brassica napus- Sclerotinia sclerotiorum interactions

Rong-Shi Chen et al. Front Plant Sci. .

Abstract

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a highly destructive fungal pathogen that seriously damages the yield and quality of Brassica napus worldwide. The complex interaction between the B. napus and S. sclerotiorum system has presented significant challenges in researching rapeseed defense strategies. Here, we focus on the infection process of S. sclerotiorum, the defense mechanisms of rapeseed, and recent research progress in this system. The response of rapeseed to S. sclerotiorum is multifaceted; this review aims to provide a theoretical basis for rapeseed defense strategies.

Keywords: gene editing; oxalic acid; pathogen effector; plant defense; resistance gene; transcriptome.

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum invasion model. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum can germinate under suitable conditions, myceliogenic germination produces hyphae to infect plant roots; carpogenic germination produces apothecia, and ascospores are released into the air by apothecia. Ascospores land on petals, which tend to gather in the leaf axils when they fall off. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum will colonize by aerial hyphae and invasive hyphae; invasive hyphae thicken after entering the apoplast and associate with early biotrophic growth, and finally produce sclerotia in the stem leading to hollow and rot.
