Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) catalyzes the final step of tyrosine degradation pathway. In this study, we isolated and characterized two homologous BnaFAH genes in Brassica napus L. variant Westar, then used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis to generate a series transgene-free mutant lines either with single or double-null bnafah alleles. Among these lines, aacc (bnafah) line, rather than aaCC (bnaa06fah) exhibited programmed cell death (PCD) under short days (SD). Histochemical staining content measurement confirmed that accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly higher bnaa06fah. To further elucidate mechanism PCD, performed transcriptomic analyses bnaa06fah at different SD stages. A heatmap cluster differentially expressed (DEGs) revealed PCD may be related various redox regulatory involved antioxidant activity, ROS-responsive regulation calcium signaling. Combined results previous studies, our work expression levels BnaC04CAT2, BnaA09/C09SAL1, BnaA08/C08ACO2, BnaA07/C06ERO1, BnaA08ACA1, BnaC04BIK1, BnaA09CRK36 BnaA03CPK4 were might candidate hub for PCD. Together, underscore ability phenotypes alter orthologs through gene editing elucidated molecular mechanisms oxidative stress-induced plants.
