Abstract

Summary The necrotrophic fungus Rhizoctonia cerealis is the major pathogen causing sharp eyespot disease in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ). Nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat ( NB ‐ LRR ) proteins often mediate plant disease resistance to biotrophic pathogens. Little is known about the role of NB ‐ LRR genes involved in wheat response to R. cerealis . In this study, a wheat NB ‐ LRR gene, named Ta RCR 1 , was identified in response to R. cerealis infection using Artificial Neural Network analysis based on comparative transcriptomics and its defence role was characterized. The transcriptional level of Ta RCR 1 was enhanced after R. cerealis inoculation and associated with the resistance level of wheat. Ta RCR 1 was located on wheat chromosome 3 BS and encoded an NB ‐ LRR protein that was consisting of a coiled‐coil domain, an NB ‐ ARC domain and 13 imperfect leucine‐rich repeats. Ta RCR 1 was localized in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Silencing of Ta RCR 1 impaired wheat resistance to R. cerealis , whereas Ta RCR 1 overexpression significantly increased the resistance in transgenic wheat. Ta RCR 1 regulated certain reactive oxygen species ( ROS )‐scavenging and production, and defence‐related genes, and peroxidase activity. Furthermore, H 2 O 2 pretreatment for 12‐h elevated expression levels of Ta RCR 1 and the above defence‐related genes, whereas treatment with a peroxidase inhibitor for 12 h reduced the resistance of Ta RCR 1‐ overexpressing transgenic plants and expression levels of these defence‐related genes. Taken together, Ta RCR 1 positively contributes to defence response to R. cerealis through maintaining ROS homoeostasis and regulating the expression of defence‐related genes.
