Biotic stresses negatively affect canola growth and production. Flea beetle damage and <i> Sclerotinia sclerotiorum ( S. sclerotiorum </i> ) infection are two of the worst biotic stresses for canola. <i> Auxin Repressed Proteins ( ARPs </i> ) responsive to several abiotic stresses have been reported. However, information about <i> ARPs </i> induced by Flea beetle damage and <i> S. sclerotiorum </i> infection, their roles in biotic stress tolerance are still lacking in canola. ESTs for an <i> Auxin Repressed Protein </i> 1 ( <i> BnARP </i> 1) were highly represented (expressed) in a <i> Brassica napus </i> subtractive library developed after leaf damage by the crucifer flea beetle ( <i> Phyllotreta cruciferae </i> ). Expression of this gene was under different developmental control in <i> B. napus </i> , and it was co-induced in <i> B. napus </i> by flea beetle feeding, <i> S. sclerotiorum </i> infection, drought and cold. A total of 25 <i> BnARP </i> genes were represented in different <i> B. napus </i> stress and development EST libraries and indicated larger, diversified families than known earlier. Dwarf phenotypes, primary root growth inhibition, lateral root enhancement, reduced sensitivity to 2, 4-D, and reduced <i> PIN </i> 1 and <i> LOX </i> expression in transgenic Arabidopsis expression lines suggest that <i> BnARP </i> 1 is an auxin repressor that prevents auxin transport and supports an interaction between the auxin and jasmonate signalling pathways. And the increased survival after <i> S. sclerotiorum </i> infection in transgenic over-expression Arabidopsis suggests that <i> BnARP </i> 1 could play a role in <i> S. sclerotiorum </i> tolerance through connecting auxin and jasmonate signalling pathways.
