Functional Analysis of Long Non-Coding RNAs Reveal Their Novel Roles in Biocontrol of Bacteria-Induced Tomato Resistance to Meloidogyne incognita.

ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) severely affect plants growth and productivity, and several commercial biocontrol bacteria can improve plants resistance to RKNs. Pseudomonas putida Sneb821 isolate was found to induce tomatoes resistance against Meloidogyne incognita. However, the molecular functions behind induced resistance remains unclear. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is considered to be a new component that regulates the molecular functions of plant immunity. We found lncRNA was involved in Sneb821-induced tomato resistance to M. incognita. Compared with tomato inoculated with M. incognita, high-throughput sequencing showed that 43 lncRNAs were upregulated, while 35 lncRNAs were downregulated in tomatoes previously inoculated with Sneb821. A regulation network of
