Comparative transcriptome analysis of canola carrying a single vs stacked resistance genes against clubroot
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pyramiding resistance genes may expand the efficacy and scope of a canola variety against clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae), a serious threat to canola production in western Canada. However, the mechanism(s) of multigenic resistance, especially the potential interaction among clubroot resistance (CR) genes, are not well understood. In this study, transcriptome was compared over three canola (Brassica napus L.) inbred/hybrid lines carrying a single CR gene in chromosome A03 (CRaM, Line 16) or A08 (Crr1rutb, Line 20), and both genes (CRaM+Crr1rutb, Line 15) inoculated with a field population (L-G2) of P. brassicae pathotype X, a new variant found in western Canada recently. The line16 was susceptible, while lines 15 and 20 were partially resistant. Functional annotation identified differential expression of genes (DEGs) involved in biosynthetic processes responsive to stress and regulation of cellular process; The Venn diagram showed that the partially resistant lines 15 and 20 shared 1,896 differentially expressed genes relative to the susceptible line 16, and many of these DEGs are involved in defense responses, activation of innate immunity, hormone biosynthesis and programmed cell death. The transcription of genes involved in Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP)-Triggered and Effector-Triggered Immunity (PTI and ETI) was particularly up-regulated, and the transcription level was higher in line 15 (CRaM + Crr1rutb) than in line 20 (Crr1rutb only) for most of the DEGs. These results indicated that the partial resistance to the pathotype X was likely conferred by the CR gene Crr1rutb for both lines 15 and 20 that functioned via the activation of both PTI and ETI signaling pathways. Additionally, these two CR genes might have synergistic effects against the pathotype X, based on the higher transcription levels of defense-related DEGs expressed by inoculated line 15, highlighting the benefit of gene stacking for improved canola resistance as opposed to a single CR gene alone.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
