This application discloses the application of the EDS1
protein and its encoding
gene in regulating
plant disease resistance, belonging to the field of
genetic engineering technology. The technical problem this application aims to solve is: how to regulate
clubroot resistance in plants. To this end, this application provides the application of the EDS1
protein, or substances regulating the expression of the EDS1
protein encoding
gene, or substances regulating the content of the EDS1 protein, in regulating
plant clubroot resistance; the EDS1 protein can be a protein with the
amino acid sequence being sequence 2. This application is the first confirmation of EDS1's participation in the *
Cladophora brassicae* infection cycle, and the obtained susceptible materials can be utilized as a potential breeding resource. The discovery and enrichment of breeding resources will greatly accelerate the breeding process of
clubroot-resistant cruciferous plants and strengthen
disease control. Furthermore, clubroot resistance can be achieved by overexpressing EDS1 in cruciferous plants through transgenic or other means.
