Abstract

AbstractPhytophthora root rot caused by oomycete pathogens in the Phytophthora genus poses a significant threat to soybean productivity. While resistance mechanisms againstPhytophthora sojaehave been extensively studied in soybean, the molecular basis underlying immune responses toPhytophthora sansomeanaremains unclear. We investigated transcriptomic and epigenetic responses of two resistant (Colfax and NE2701) and two susceptible (Williams 82 and Senaki) soybean lines at four time points (2, 4, 8, and 16 hours post inoculation, hpi) afterP. sansomeanainoculation. Comparative transcriptomic analyses revealed a greater number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) upon pathogen inoculation in resistant lines, particularly at 8 and 16 hpi, predominantly associated with ethylene and reactive oxygen species-mediated defense pathways. Moreover, DE transposons were predominantly up-regulated after inoculation and enriched near genes in Colfax. A long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) within the mapped region of the resistance gene exhibited exclusive up-regulation in the resistant lines after inoculation, potentially regulating two flankingLURP-one-relatedgenes. Furthermore, DNA methylation analysis revealed increased CHH methylation levels in lncRNAs after inoculation, with delayed responses in Colfax compared to Williams 82. Overall, our results provide comprehensive insights into soybean responses toP. sansomeana, highlighting potential roles of lncRNAs and epigenetic regulation in plant defense.
