Clubroot resistance is an economically important trait in Brassicaceae crops. Although many quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for clubroot resistance have been identified in Brassica, disease-related damage continues to occur owing to differences in host variety and constant pathogen variation. Here, we investigated the inheritance of clubroot resistance in a double haploid population developed by crossing clubroot resistant and susceptible lines 09CR500 and 09CR501, respectively. The resistance of 09CR500 to Plasmodiophora brassicae pathotype Banglim was controlled as a single dominant gene, with the segregation of resistance and susceptibility being nearly 1:1. PbBrA08(Banglim) was identified as having a logarithm of odds value of 7.9-74.8, and a phenotypic variance of 26.0-97.1% with flanking marker 09CR.11390652 in A08. After aligning QTL regions to the B. rapa reference genome, 11 genes were selected as candidates. PbBrA08(Banglim) was located near Crr1, CRs, and Rcr9 loci, but differences were validated by marker analysis, gene structural variations, and gene expression levels, as well as phenotypic responses to the pathotype. Genotyping using the 09CR.11390652 marker accurately distinguished the Banglim-resistance phenotypes in the double haploid population. Thus, the developed marker will be useful in Brassica breeding programs, marker-assisted selection, and gene pyramiding to identify and develop resistant cultivars.
