Article Abstract
Clubroot disease is a soil-borne disease caused by . It occurs in cruciferous crops exclusively, and causes serious damage to the economic value of cruciferous crops worldwide. Although different measures have been taken to prevent the spread of clubroot disease, the most fundamental and effective way is to explore and use disease-resistance genes to breed resistant varieties. However, the resistance level of plant hosts is influenced both by environment and pathogen race. In this work, we described clubroot disease in terms of discovery and current distribution, life cycle, and race identification systems; in particular, we summarized recent progress on clubroot control methods and breeding practices for resistant cultivars. With the knowledge of these identified resistance loci and R genes, we discussed feasible strategies for disease-resistance breeding in the future.

Background: Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, significantly impacts cruciferous crop production worldwide. Biocontrol is an environmentally friendly and promising approach for clubroot management. Endophytic bacteria are known for their ability to promote plant growth and induce resistance against plant diseases.

Clubroot, a destructive disease of Brassicaceae, is caused by the soilborne, biotrophic protist . The pathogen was first identified by Mikhail Woronin in 1875 and named turnip disease in England. This pathogen has a unique, multiphase life cycle that takes place largely within a living host; however, it can also persist as resting spores in the soil for several years.

Clubroot disease, caused by the obligate intracellular rhizarian protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, is devastating to cruciferous crops worldwide. Widespread field P. brassicae pathotypes frequently overcome the pathotype-specific resistance of modern varieties, posing a challenge for durable control of this disease.

Despite decades of clubroot research, only three resistance (R) genes have been validated. However, many of the 'new' R genes are, in fact, identical to or allelic with these three. In this forum article we advocate for more concerted efforts to reduce redundancies in reporting 'novel' R genes and to focus on establishing a common nomenclature system.
