Abscisic acid (ABA) plays crucial roles in plant response to environmental stresses and development. The clade A phosphatases (PP2Cs) play a crucial role in ABA signaling. However, little is known about the details regarding PP2Cs family genes in Brassica juncea var. tumida. Here, 20 clade A PP2Cs family genes were identified in tuber mustard genome, including BjuABI1s, BjuABI2s, BjuAHG1s, BjuAHG3s, BjuHAB1, BjuHAB2s, BjuHAI1s, BjuHAI2s and BjuHAI3. The promoters of BjuPP2Cs family genes contained various of cis-acting elements, such as ABRE, GT1GMSCAM4, ARFAT and MYB1AT. We also analyzed the expression pattern of clade A BjuPP2Cs under abiotic stresses (low temperature, NaCl and ABA) treatment, pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae treatment and different stages of stem swollen. The results suggested that clade A BjuPP2Cs regulated tuber mustard response to P. brassicae to mediate the formation of clubroot and might play roles in stem swelling and response to abiotic stresses. This study provides valuable information for further functional investigations of clade A PP2Cs family genes in B. juncea var. tumida.
