This study investigated the genetic variability affecting plant resistance to pathogens, revealing a new mechanism of genomic rearrangements. The results showed that allelic variability at the Phn7.1 locus may be generated from homoeologous exchange, leading to the deletion and duplication of certain genes, ultimately affecting plant resistance to pathogens.
Crop plant partial resistance to plant pathogens controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL) is desirable in cultivar development programmes because of its increased durability. Mechanisms underlying such resistance are difficult to study. We performed RNA-seq analyses for tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) nearly isogenic lines (NILs) with and without favourable allele(s) at Phn7.1, a major QTL influencing partial resistance to the soil-borne pathogens Phytophthora nicotianae and Ralstonia solanacearum. Based upon combined analyses of transcriptome-based sequence variation and gene expression profiles, we concluded that allelic variability at the Phn7.1 locus was likely generated from homoeologous exchange, which led to deletion of low-expressing members of the SAR8.2 gene family and duplication of high-expressing SAR8.2 genes from a different subgenome of allotetraploid tobacco. The high expression of endogenous Phn7.1-associated SAR8.2 genes was correlated with observed resistance to P. nicotianae. Our findings suggest a role for genomic rearrangements in the generation of favourable genetic variability affecting resistance to pathogens in plants.
