摘要： Background Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production is seriously threatened by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans). However, it remains unclear how the two potato cultivars, Q9 (moderately resistant) and Atl (susceptible), initiate distinct defense responses after inoculation with P. infestans. To uncover the underlying process, we investigated the dynamic gene expression profiles and the functions of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Results The results showed that the numbers of up-regulated DEGs were 1345, 1063 and 1694 in Q9 and 272, 603 and 2554 in Atl at 1 day post inoculation (dpi), 3 dpi and 5 dpi, respectively. Meanwhile, the down-regulated DEGs were 1557, 1417 and 389 in Q9 and 114, 364 and 2528 in Atl simultaneously. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that plant-pathogen interaction, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and MAPK signaling pathway were significantly enriched in Q9 at the later stage. Furthermore, DEGs associated with plant-pathogen interaction and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis showed higher expression levels in Q9 compared to Atl, especially at the later stage. The expressions of eight DEGs were validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), which further verified the accuracy of the transcriptomics analysis. In addition, DEGs that were exclusively up-regulated and down-regulated in Q9 were analyzed, which may contribute to the resistance of Q9. Transient expression analysis revealed that four DEGs, including StHP1, StMYB2, StHSP3 and StNAC5, exhibited increased tolerance to P. infestans, indicating a positive role in enhancing the resistance of Q9. Conclusion Therefore, the DEGs associated with plant-pathogen interaction, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and MAPK signaling pathway were involved in regulating late blight, and the expression level of the related genes significantly increased in Q9. In addition, StHP1, StHSP3 and the transcription factors, including StMYB2 and StNAC5, played positive roles in improving the resistance of potato Q9 to P. infestans. These findings provide useful information for further understanding the molecular mechanism of potato resistance to late blight. Furthermore, our study identified novel resistance genes that can be used in resistance breeding and functional research.
