Identification and Network Construction of mRNAs, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs in Sweetpotato (<i>Ipomoea batatas</i> L.) Adventitious Roots Under Salt Stress via Whole-Transcriptome RNA Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Sweetpotato is the seventh largest crop worldwide, and soil salinization is a major environmental stress limiting its yield. Recent studies have shown that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play important regulatory roles in plant responses to abiotic stress. However, ncRNAs in sweetpotato remain largely unexplored. This study analyzed the characteristics of salt-responsive ncRNAs in sweetpotato adventitious roots under salt stress via whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing. The results revealed that 3175 messenger RNAs (mRNAs), 458 microRNAs (miRNAs), 544 long-chain ncRNAs (lncRNAs), and 23 circular RNAs (circRNAs) were differentially expressed. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that most differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were enric
